ECE 5580
Compound Semiconductor Devices

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

This course builds on physics of semiconductors, particularly that of compound semiconductors. The course provides a comprehensive and comparative understanding of a series of devices made of compound semiconductors in comparison to the prevalent elementary semiconductor Si. The focused device types include logic electronics, analog electronics, power electronics, thermoelectronics, photodetectors and light emitting diodes. Energy band diagram is the essential concept/tool used in this course. Discussions of these devices/applications will be placed in the context of advancement of materials and technology development.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ECE 4070/MSE 5470 (Semi Physics), ECE 5570/MSE 5460 (CompSemi Materials) or equivalent.
