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
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
1. Analyze the basic physics of carrier transport in bulk semiconductors and real device Structures.
2. Illustrate the fundamentals of operation of the main semiconductor electronic devices.
3. Solve electronic devices and systems using mathematical concepts.
4. Develop the capability to analyze and design simple circuits containing non-linear elements such as transistors using the concepts of load lines, operating points and
Incremental analysis.
5.
Demonstrate fundamental knowledge in the use of laser and photonic devices.

Students should, and are encouraged to, seek extra help if they are experiencing difficulty with the course work. Extra Help is available after class hours or at other times as arranged with the instructor.
Minimum Attendance Requirement: 80% (As per University Regulations)
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.
