ESE 436 - Advanced Electronic Devices

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

The physics of state-of-the-art electronic devices. Devices to be studied include novel diode structures (light-emitting diodes, semiconductor laser diodes), high-power devices (SCRs, TRIACs, and power transistors), and high-speed devices. High-speed devices include heterojunction bipolar (HBT), heterojunction field-effect (HFET), and high electron mobility (HEMT) transistors used in very high-speed systems (up to 100 GHz). Advanced bipolar transistors (poly-Si), used in high-speed microprocessors, examined; also materials properties, transport mechanisms, band structure, and physics of these devices.
