Fundamental aspects of electronic materials such as: semiconductors, metals, dielectrics, piezoelectrics, magnetic materials, and their applications in devices such as diodes, transistors, and tranducers
Course Outline
This course presents basic materials science and device engineering concepts required in electrical engineering. Basic concepts such as crystal structures, basic quantum mechanics for electrons in solids, bandgap and semiconductors, metals, dielectrics, and magnetic materials will be covered. Basic operation of PN junctions, transistors, dielectric devices, SAW filters, and other electronic devices is explained and related to material properties.
