Credit* 3
Learning Outcomes* At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. Explain the basic electronic and magnetic properties of materials.
2. Carry out calculations related to carrier concentration and transport.
3. Explain the principles of operation of common semiconductor devices
and relate them basic materials properties.
4. Describe basic steps in semiconductor device fabrication.
Transferable Skills 1. Knowledge on electronic and magnetic properties
2. Calculations related to carrier concentration and transport
3. Semiconductor device fabrication techniques
Synopsis of Course Contents The course includes the quantum mechanics and crystal structure of semi-
conductor, semiconductor materials and their properties, energy bands,
carrier transport phenomena, pn junction, diodes pn junction, optoelectron-
ics devices, transistors, the magnetic properties of the semiconductor mate-
rials and its advanced fabrication technology. All these components are
vital to the understanding of both the operation of present day devices and
any future development in the field. The course also comprises of many
mathematic calculations which are needed in designing the electronic com-
ponent with low cost and energy conservation.
