This course introduces fundamental concepts of quantum physics in the context of future electrical engineering (EE) applications and will be run alternatively by Device and Wave Divisions. Provided by the Device Division, the focus of this semester will be on the basic principles of quantum phenomena and representative models of quantum systems within the context of semiconductor physics and nanoelectronic devices. Computer simulations will be utilized to enhance the understanding of quantum phenomena.

In this course, we study in depth how the basic semiconductor devices operate. Various semiconductor devices are examined including a pn junction diode, a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), and two-field effect transistors (MOSFET, JFET). This course will also cover non-ideal effects in the real semiconductor devices.
