Course Description
ELEC3014/ENSC3014

▶ This unit is designed to give you an introduction to

electronic materials and devices.
Semester 1
▶ An understanding of the pn-junction leads to an
2025
understanding of the semiconductor diode and the
Professor Brett
Nener bipolar transistor.
Outline ▶ A study of the field-effect leads to an understanding of
Introduction the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) interface and
Assessment
the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor-Field-Effect-Transistor
AI in Teaching and
Assessment (MOSFET).
Seminars ▶ The goal is to give you an insight into how
