PHYSIC 622: Solid State Electronic Devices

This lecture and laboratory course focusses on the physical principles and technology of semiconductor electronic devices and materials. The laboratory involves such techniques as the Hall effect, resistivity, and optical measurement, used to characterize the properties of semiconductor materials and devices — silicon and gallium arsenide substrates, bipolar and metal semiconductor junctions, VLSI and MOSFET devices. Topics may vary according to faculty interests and recent developments in the technology. When Offered: This class is not currently offered – check with the physics office for future semsters.
