Modeling of Semiconductor Devices
About
About the course
Course content
This course will be taught every second year, starting in Fall 2008. The coursecovers large signal and small signalmodeling of important semiconductordevices. Emphasis is placed on Si MOSFETs and on heterostructure devices such as HEMT and HBT. Issues of interest are physical desctoption, equivalent circuit representation, high-frequency behavior. model requirements for RF applications, intrinsic and extrinsic model elements, paramter extraction, and noise modeling.
