Omschrijving | This course gives a basic introduction into (modern) electronic devices. The emphasis will be on understanding the principles and how these devices are being used in current day electronic circuits and systems. 1) Introduction into elementary concepts of solid state physics and semiconductor physics. 2) Semiconductor electronic devices: p-n diodes, bipolar transistors, and field effect transistors. 3) Opto-electronic devices: light emitting diodes, solar cells, and lasers 4) Spintronics: concept of spin, phenomena in Spintronics viz. Giant and Tunneling Magnetoresistance and their devices 4) New developments: single electron transistors and devices for quantum computation and quantum information processing The emphasis will be on conventional semiconductor materials (such as silicon) as well as organic semiconductor materials (“plastic electronics”), and new (nano) materials and devices. In the second half of the course the students will prepare and present case studies where they will present and discuss a recent article. The final mark will be the average of the mark for the written exam and the case study. |
