ECE 7322 - Semiconductor Devices and Fabrication
Credits: 3
Laboratory-oriented elective course that introduces the working principles of semiconductor devices and includes the fabricating and testing of silicon MOSFET transistors in the SMU cleanroom. Lectures and class discussions (about 22 hours) explain the basic operation of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, heterojunction bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors, high-electron mobility transistors, solar cells, detectors, light-emitting diodes, and semiconductor lasers. Class lectures (about 20 hours) cover the basics of device processing, including photolithography, oxidation, diffusion, ion-implantation, metallization, and etching. Weekly laboratory reports and a final project report describing the fabrication and testing of devices account for a major portion of the course grade. Students lead weekly discussions of the previous week’s laboratory experiences and homework problems. An optional field trip to a local semiconductor related company is possible. Credit will not be given for both ECE 7322 and ECE 3311.
