    SYLLABUS ENGIN 621: Physics of Semiconductor Materials

    Spring, 2010

    4 Credits

    Instructor: Greg Sun, office S-3-116; email:greg.sun@umb.edu; tel: 617-287-6432 Objective: In this one-semester course on the physics of semiconductor materials, students are expected to acquire basic understanding of the properties of semiconductor materials as well as operations of certain semiconductor devices by studying the underlying physical principles that are related to solid state physics and quantum mechanics. Specific topics to be covered include crystal and bonding properties, energy band theory, carrier distribution and recombination, theory of transport and scattering, theory of p-n junction, and operation of majority carrier diodes and transistors. An independent project focusing on a particular semiconductor device is required of each student. Lecture notes: notes will be handed out and no textbook is required for the course. Reference books: Semiconductor Device Fundamentals by Robert F. Pierret, Addison Wesley. Introduction to Solid State Physics by Charles Kittel, Wiley. Advanced Semiconductor Fundamentals by Robert F. Pierret, Prentice Hall. Homework: For each chapter a list of problems are assigned for pointing out the emphasized areas and providing working materials. Solutions will be posted. Examinations: There are two examinations for this course, one midterm and one final. The examinations consist of problems and questions related to what have been discussed in the lectures. Project: Each student needs to complete an independent project that focuses on a particular type of semiconductor device of your choice. Towards the end of the semester, everyone should present their project to the class by offering an understanding of the working principle of the device and an overview of its applications and current status. Grades: The final grade is computed as follows: 20% from homework, 30% from midterm exam, 30% from final, and 20% from project.
