Introduction to semiconductor devices and processes (2018, Spring)
Goal
This course covers basic physics and engineering concepts related to semiconductor and their electronic applications. Since semiconductor device physics is a baseline theory for many other electronic applications such as organic electronics, light emitting diode and thin film transistor, this course will provide basic learning to undergraduate students who are interested in the electronic applications of materials as well as who are planning to take advanced device physics courses.
