Aim: The course gives the introduction to solid state electronics. The aim of the course is to give the student an understanding of the physical mechanisms and the mode of operation involved in a number of important solid state components, notably bipolar and unipolar (field effect) transistors.

|
Contents: Introduction to solid state physics of semiconductors: electrons and holes in pure and doped semiconductor crystals, energy band diagrams, energy band gap. Transport phenomena: carrier drift, diffusion, injection and recombination. High-field phenomena. p-n junction: thermal equilibrium, depletion, capacitance, static I-V characteristics, transient behaviour and break-down. Bipolar devices (transistors and thyristors): static characteristics, frequency responce and switching. Unipolar devices, metal-semiconductor contacts (Schottky), field effect devices: JFETs, MESFETs, MOSFETs , MOS diodes, photodetectors and solar cells.
