COURSE
DESCRIPTION :
This course analyses the characteristics of various semiconductor
devices. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental physics behind
operation of PN junction devices. The course covers analysis of a
wide range of semiconductor devices including power transistors
and Opto-electronic devices. The course is accompanied by a
laboratory course to analyse and design circuits using the
Semiconductor devices. The course forms the foundation for all
the electronic circuits
To familiarise the students with
1. Basic physics of semiconductor devices.
2. The importance of electrons and holes in semiconductors,
the charge density and distribution, the charge transport
mechanisms.
3. The physics of p-n junction
4. The working of most semi-conductor devices and basic
Opto-electronic devices
COURSE OBJECTIVES
:
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
COURSE OUTCOMES :
1. Analyse the basic physics of carrier transport in semiconductor
devices.
2. Analyse the characteristics of the p-n junction diodes.
3. Analyse the characteristics of transistors.
4. Apply their understanding about the behaviour of power control
devices.
5. Explain the functioning of optoelectronic devices and special
function diodes.

ECE201 – ELECTRON DEVICES (3 Credits)
The work you hand in (assignments, tests, and exam) must not contain anyone else's work or ideas
without proper attribution. In particular, the actual write-up of your exercises and assignments must be
done in isolation from other students (for individual work) or groups (for group work) and without
copying from notes or other sources. This ensures that your solution is truly your own, and that your
grade reflects your own understanding of the course material. To be safe, do not let others look at your
solutions, even in draft form and even after the due date. Academic misconduct (cheating, plagiarism, or
any other form) is a very serious offence that will be dealt with rigorously in all cases. A single offence
may lead to disciplinary probation or “0” zero grade/marks for all or concerned assessment. The
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering follows a zero tolerance policy regarding
dishonesty.
