ECE 65400 - Solid State Devices II


Credit Hours: 3.00. Introduction to advanced concepts in semiconductor devices as an extension and continuation of ECE 60600 . Topics include charge storage and transfer in deep depletion MOS devices (CCDs and DRAMs); negative differential mobility and transit time effects in microwave oscillators (Gunn and IMPATT diodes); spontaneous and stimulated emission, quantum efficiency, and charge confinement in photonic devices (LEDs and double heterojunction lasers); and quantum efficiency and spectral response in conventional and avalanche photodiodes. Prerequisite: ECE 60600 . Typically offered Spring.
