Diode - pn Junction and Metal Semiconductor Contact at Coursera Course details
- This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5631, part of CU Boulder?s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.
- This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, non-rectifying behavior, and surface effect. You'll work through sophisticated analysis and application to electronic devices.
- At the end of this course learners will be able to:
- 1. Analyze pn junction at equilibrium and under bias, capacitance and current characteristics, and breakdown behavior
- 2. Analyze metal-semiconductor contact at equilibrium and under bias, capacitance and current characteristics, non-rectifying contact and surface effects
