Undergraduate Courses

This course provides an introduction to semiconductor electronic devices. We will begin by discussing the basic principles of semiconductor materials, electronic carriers, and carrier transport. Then we will study the operation, design and performance of devices including PN diodes, Schottky diodes, MOS field electric transistors, bipolar junction transistors, and optoelectronic components. Projects will provide an opportunity to design devices using an industry-standard TCAD tool.

This course provides an introduction to optical communication links and systems. We will begin with the basic principles of optical transmission and the operation of components used in optical networks. We will then describe the design and performance issues of optical communication links and systems.
