Description

This course describes the operating principles of modern semiconductor devices, relates terminal properties to their internal structure, and gives an understanding of how terminal properties will change with operating conditions. Devices covered include p-n junction diodes, solar cells, bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors (MOSFETs), light-emitting diodes and semiconductor lasers, with emphasis on photovoltaic (semiconductor solar cells) and photonic (semiconductor LEDs and lasers) applications. This course may be taught concurrently with SOLA9005.
