MICROELECTRONICS

Kursus ini bertujuan untuk memberi pengetahuan dan membangunkan pemahaman serta kemahiran sintesis dalam fizik peranti semikonduktor. Konsep asas dan sifat-sifat fizikal bahan semikonduktor diperkenalkan dan diterokai, iaitu termasuk bahan semikonduktor intrinsik dan ekstrinsik, sifat statik dan pengangkutan caj, jalur tenaga, kesan dopan, simpang p-n , simpang logam-semiconductor dan simpang MOS. Dari sini, struktur, mekanisma operasi dan sifat peranti uni-polar dan dwi-polar diperkenalkan, seperti p-n diod, transistor simpang dwikutub (BJT), kapasitor MOS, dan transistor kesan medan (MOSFET, JFET dan MESFET). Asas fenomena kuantum dan kesan yang berkaitan, serta konsep yang mendasari heterosimpang, dan beberapa peranti optoelektronik diperkenalkan di akhir kursus.

This course is aimed to provide knowledge and to develop understanding and synthesis skills in the physics of semiconductor devices. Basic concepts and physical properties of semiconductor materials are introduced and explored, which includes intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductor materials, static properties and transportation of charge, energy band theory, doping effect, p-n junction, metal-semiconductor junction and MOS junction. Furthermore, the structure, working mechanism and properties of unipolar and bipolar devices are introduced, such as p-n junction diode, bipolar junction transistors (BJT), MOS capacitor, and field effect transistors (MOSFET, JFET and MESFET). Basic quantum phenomena and associated effects, concepts underlying heterojunctions, and some optoelectronics devices are also introduced towards the end of the course.
