The purpose of the course is the understanding of the operational principles and the study of the characteristics of the most important Si-based devices, including their behavior under static and dynamic operation. More specifically, the following subjects are discussed:
- Brief review of the electrical properties of semiconductors
- P-N junction
- Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)
- Metal-Semiconductor contact (Schottky and Ohmic contacts)
- Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor
- Field Effect Transistor (FET)
- Teacher: Κωνσταντίνος Πολιτόπουλος
