Electronic Circuits - Part1: Semiconductors
What you'll learn
- Understand the physics, characteristics and operation of semiconductor materials.
Requirements
- You should be familiar with basic calculus and algebra.
- You should be able to use a PC at a beginner level.
- MATLAB software is described during the course. Having a 30-day trial version of MATLAB is recommended.
Description
This course covers all the fundamentals of physical characteristics of semiconductor materials with a focus on PN junction diode. Semiconductors are the building blocks of every complex integrated circuit and understanding properties of these materials is essential before an engineer can start a circuit design. This course is based on animation, to strengthen viewers understanding of the physical concepts. Problem solving using MATLAB is also described throughout the course. At the end of this course you will be able to understand different types of semiconductors, such as intrinsic and extrinsic (P-Type and N-Type), electrical conduction mechanism (drift and diffusion), and also current-voltage characteristic of semiconductor materials.
Who this course is for:
- This course in meant to be for people with little to no previous experience in electronics, and covers all the fundamentals of semiconductor materials which are the building blocks of electronics industry.
