Course Description: As semiconductor device geometry miniaturizes, the device becomes faster and some devices move into the quantum-effect region. These higher-speed devices are the key components for future electronic systems in communications, computers, control, and consumer applications. This course covers the physics and operational principles of these devices to meet the needs of microelectronics in the 21st century. This course emphasizes the integration of the state-of-the-art technologies such as high-k dielectrics, SiGe devices, SiC and GaN based power devices.

Course Objectives: This course is intended for graduate students in MN and  related areas who are either i) interested in pursuing research in semiconductor materials, structures or devices, or ii) seeking the broad device background on the-state-of-the-art technologies for a future R&D career in the microelectronic industry.
