PHY350 Solid State Physics

This course provides an introduction to the basic physics and principles of operation of the major semiconductor devices. These devices include the diode, bipolar junction transistor and field effect transistor. All modern electronic circuits are created from combinations of these devices, from the simplest power supply to the most complex integrated circuit microprocessor. The course extends concepts from basic physics to explain carrier motion in these devices under the influence of electric fields and semiconductor properties.
