413 Prerequisites: Phys. 313 and Phys. 314, or consent of the instructor.
This is a 3-unit course which satisfies an elective requirement for the BA or BS in physics and may be of special interest to those in the applied physics BS program. This course is a standard advanced undergraduate course for students of EE and related fields and is recommended for those students who are interested in understanding the basic underlying theories and principles of operation of semiconductor devices. Some knowledge of quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and electronics is necessary. Physics 475 along with the department's four electronics courses (phys. 313/313L and phys. 413/413L), photonics courses phys. 445 and 447, and the x-ray diffraction course, phys. 384 will provide the applied physics students with a wealth of information that will enable them to tackle real world problems in the high-tech electronics and optics environments. these courses will also prepare students for internships in local high-tech industries. Additionally, such a group of courses will enable students to continue their studies in engineering related fields as well as applied and traditional physics.
This course may also be used as part of the proposed MS-CES program. In order to qualify for use as a graduate level course, students are required to complete a number of test and measurement projects which will be outlined by the instructor during the semester.
Text: Solid State Electronic Devices by: Ben G. Streetman, and Sanjay Banerjee, 5th edition, Prentice Hall (2000), or, 4th edition by Ben Streetman, Prentice hall (1995).
- The text includes a large number of useful references at the end of each chapter.
Semiconductor materials; crystal structure and growth; energy bands and charge carriers; conductivity and mobility; metal-semiconductor and p-n junctions; p-n junction diodes; bipolar junction transistors; field-effect transistors; CCDs; photonic devices, and integrated circuits.
Tests: (1) Th. March 9, 20%; (2) Th. April 20, 20%; (3) comprehensive final, Th. May 25, 35%.
Homework: 25%
*The final test consists of two parts: Part I will be on the material covered between the second test and the final (20%), and Part II will be on the entire covered material and will focus on the main topics of the course (15%).
