Course outline
Basics semiconductor microelectronics includes:band theory of semiconductor, electron
emission, properties of semiconductors, electron-hole junction, principles of creation of
microelectronic devices, digital and analog microelectronics, diodes, transistors, integrated
circuit, their structure and production of devices.
The students understand how to approach analysis and design of circuits with nonlinear
elements, including diodes, transistors. Understand the principles of operation for p-n junctions,
semiconductor diodes. After taking this course students will be study: how work the variouse
type of semiconductor devices (diodes, transistors, resistors, photodiods, light-emitting diods
and etc.), how production the integrated circuit and their application.

Total
Pass/Fail: Khazar University uses 100 points grading system with 60 point passing grade for
bachelor students. In case of failure, student will be required to repeat the course the following
term or year.
Participation (10%): At this course success depends on classroom activities, student’s
attendance, participation and discussion is critical. Excessive unexcused absences will result in
student’s withdrawal from the class.
Attendance /Activity
Every student is expected to attend every class, to arrive on time, to stay until the end of class,
and to participate with high quality discussion. Those having legitimate reasons for absence
(illness, family bereavement etc) are required to inform the instructor. Generally, 30 %

Policy

k
unauthorized absence marks will lead to the student’s expulsion from the Course.
If student is late to the class for more than five (5) minutes, then he/she may not be allowed to
enter and disturb the class. For successful completion of the course, the students shall take an
active part during classes, raising questions and participating in-group discussions.
Professional Behavior Guidelines: The student shall behave in the way to create favorable
academic and professional environment during the class hours. Unauthorized discussions and
unethical behavior are strictly prohibited.
Honesty Issues: All Khazar University students are bound by honor to maintain the highest
level of academic integrity. By virtue of membership in the Khazar University community,
every student accepts the responsibility to know the rules of academic honesty, to abide by
them at all times, and to encourage all others to do the same. Cheating or other plagiarism
during the mid-term and final examinations will lead to paper cancellation. In this case, the
student will automatically get zero (0), without any considerations.
Students are supposed to read about the topics before they are discussed in lectures. It is not
necessary that students study them carefully, but at least they should get the "smell of it". This
should make it much easier for students to follow the lectures and find them more interesting.
