Why Take This Course?
This course is part 1 of a series that explain the basis of the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials including semiconductors, metals, organics, and insulators. Students will learn how devices are built to take advantage of these properties. This is illustrated with a wide range of devices, placing a strong emphasis on new and emerging technologies.
Learning Outcomes
The origins of semiconductor properties
Carrier action in semiconductors: drift, diffusion, recombination and generation
The behaviour of p-n junctions at equilibrium and under bias
The derivation and application of the ideal diode equation, and how real diodes differ from ideal diodes
Operating principles of bipolar junction transistors and MOSFETs
Instructors: Caroline Ross
Caroline Ross is Toyota Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She received her undergraduate and PhD degrees from Cambridge University, UK, were a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, and worked at Komag, a hard disk company, before joining MIT.
Requirements
Physics, calculus, and chemistry at the first year university level
Familiarity with materials structure and bonding
A background in solid state physics is helping l but is not absolutely essential
