Principles and Characterization of Microelectronic Devices

Function Hub / Microelectronics · 3 Credits

This course introduces the operating principles and characterization of microelectronic devices, organized around two themes: device fundamentals and device measurement. It covers carrier statistics, PN and metal–semiconductor junctions, MOS structures, and MOSFET operation to build a strong understanding of device behavior and simple models. The course then focuses on widely used characterization approaches for extracting key material and device parameters such as resistivity, doping profiles, barrier height, MOS interface properties, and MOSFET channel parameters. Students will develop the ability to interpret measurement data and connect extracted parameters to device performance in modern microelectronics.
