PHYSIC 621: Physics of Semiconductor Materials

In this class an understanding of the properties of semiconductor devices is related to the underlying physical principles of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. Topics include electrical, optical and thermal properties of semi-conductor materials, theory of transport, scattering and recombination of free carriers, and the theory of p-n junctions. When Offered: This class is offered in the Spring semester in every odd numbered year. UMass Boston Course Search page
