ECE 635 - Advanced Semiconductor Devices

3 Credit Hours
In-depth coverage of device physics and broad overview of advanced semiconductor device concepts. Review of basic quantum mechanics; crystal structures, band structures, band structure modification by alloys, heterostructures, and strain; carrier statistics; and scattering, defects, phonons, mobility, transport in heterostructures. Device concepts to be covered are: MOSFETs, MESFETs, MODFETs, TFTs; heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs); and photodiodes, LEDs, and semiconductor lasers. Semiconductor processing will be briefly reviewed. Nanoelectronics will be introduced.
(RE) Prerequisite(s): 531 or consent of instructor.
