ENGR 232: Semiconductor Devices

Course Description

Introduces properties of semiconductor materials and how they are manipulated to create several types of diodes, transistors, and optoelectronic devices. The theory and operation of these devices is explored in context of a wide array of applications, including rectifier, amplifier, and switching circuits. Laboratory experiments are performed to measure device characteristics and verify circuit performance. This course includes calculus-based content and is recommended for engineering majors. Prerequisites: EGR 130 and concurrent enrollment in or prior completion of EGR 131.
