The course covers fundamental solid-state and semiconductor physics relevant for understanding electronic devices. Topics include quantum mechanics of electrons in solids, crystalline structures, band ...

In 1957, Fairchild Semiconductor became the third company in Silicon Valley. Of course it wasn't called Silicon Valley then, since the whole silicon industry was just starting to evolve.

The course provides the opportunity for students to extend their background in semiconductor physics and theory and undertake advanced study and research in the variety of different branches of ...

This second course provides a more detailed description of high-voltage Schottky and p-n diodes, starting with the semiconductor physics background needed to analyze both types of diodes. The main ...
