ELEN 326 Introduction to Semiconductor Devices

This course introduces the mechanisms of semiconductor device operation. It explains terminology, models, properties, and concepts associated with semiconductor devices and offers insight into the internal workings of the "building-block" device structures such as the pn-junction diode, bipolar junction transistor (BJT), and metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The course also introduces optoelectronics, discusses current technological issues, and features modern devices.
