The objective of this graduate level course is an understanding of the quantum physics and the operation of advanced semiconductor devices. The first part of the course is focused on understanding of advanced quantum concepts related to semiconductor materials and devices, such as energy bands in solids, energy states in quantum wells, density of states for 3D, 2D, and 1D, tunneling, electronic transport, and heterostructures. The second part of the course is focused on the understand-ing and application of the quantum structures for semiconductor devices, including junction field effect transistors (JFETs), heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), LEDs and lasers, and power devices. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Basic knowledge of: (1) semiconductor physics, including crystal structure, energy bands, density of states, dopants, equilibrium statistics, non-equilibrium behavior and electronic transport; (2) operation of semiconductor pn junctions and pn diodes. basic knowledge of: (1) semiconductor physics, including crystal structure, energy bands, density of states, dopants, equilibrium statistics, non-equilibrium behavior and electronic transport; (2) operation of semiconductor pn junctions and pn diodes.
