Course Description

            The course provides introduction to the ideas necessary to establish electronic phenomenon in solids and devices. The concepts are applied to the properties and functions of solid-state devices such as diodes, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors (FET) and and integrated circuits (ICs). This course will enable students to develop the basic tools with which they can learn the behavior and application of future devices.
