What's inside

Three courses

Semiconductor Physics

(0 hours)
This course introduces basic concepts of quantum theory of solids and presents the theory describing the carrier behaviors in semiconductors. It balances fundamental physics with application to semiconductors and other electronic devices.

Diode - pn Junction and Metal Semiconductor Contact

(0 hours)
This course presents an in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts, including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, non-rectifying behavior, and surface effect.

Transistor - Field Effect Transistor and Bipolar Junction Transistor

(0 hours)
This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). At the end of this course learners will be able to understand and analyze metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices, MOS field effect transistors (MOSFETs), and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs).

Learning objectives
