CPE 3500 - Semiconductor Device Fundamentals

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): CPE 2145, CPE 2165, MTH 1210 (with a grade of “C” or better for all prerequisites)

Description: This course will provide the fundamental knowledge of semiconductor physics, materials, devices and fabrication technology. The students will learn semiconductor band theory, semiconductor materials and statistics, pn junction, bipolar transistor, heterojunction, Schottky junction and solar cells. The course will focus on the MOSFET designs for advanced Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI) technology from its physical structure, accurate modeling, manufacturability and applications by using computer simulation.
