1.9. Minimum attendance requirement
There are two evaluation itineraries, one with CONTINUOUS evaluation and other
without CONTINUOUS evaluation. By default, it is assumed that all students, being
enrolled in the course, choose the CONTINUOUS evaluation method.
The continuous evaluation method is closely related to class attendance. The rule to
follow in each case is as follows:
Continuous and not continuous evaluation for theoretical contents:
In both methods the theory attendance is not mandatory but strongly
recommended.
Very important:
Without prior notice, tests may be done during classes for use in the continuous
evaluation. The absence during one of these classes involves the non-realization of
that test and the resulting score of zero points in the activity.
Details about the evaluation rules for each of the two modes are given in section 2.2
of the Spanish version of this guide.

1.11. Course objectives
The main objective of this course you learn the physical principles of semiconductor
materials and devices. We study and analyze the basic concepts related to the
structure of actual devices, manufacturing technology, characteristics and circuit
models. From these it is intended that the students:
- Learn about the physical basis of the operation of electronic devices,
- Know and be able to extract basic characteristics of circuit models to
describe them and their limitations,
- Acquire basic ideas of the manufacturing processes of electronic devices,
and
- May predict the qualitative performance of any layered structure of
semiconductor materials.
The course will provide the following skills and knowledge:
Basic: The understanding and mastery of the physics and technology of
semiconductor materials, electronic and photonic devices, logic families and their
application to circuit design and resolution of problems of engineering. More
specifically it is intended that the student be able to:
- Understand the classical model of free electrons and the band theory.
- To understand the differences between the different materials in regard to
its conductive properties.
- Knowing how intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors conduce.
- Know the device manufacturing processes and limitations established in the
characteristics
- To understand the behavior of PN junctions (diode) and the PNP or NPN
bipolar transistors.
- Understand the basic operation of field effect transistors.
- Understand the characteristics and limitations of different types of logic
families.
- Understand the basic operation of optoelectronic components and their
integration in optical communication systems.
