Semiconductor Devices and Models II
Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering ECSE-6290

Description
A continuation of ECSE 6230. Physical operation of insulated-gate and heterojunction field-effect devices including short-channel and hot-carrier effects. Studies of other heterojunction devices emphasize the exploitation of particular quantum-mechanical phenomena to achieve unique device behavior.
