Synopsis:

This course introduces the basic theory, principles of operation and properties of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Physical principles of operation, device structures and characteristics are explained together with adequate models for small- and large-signal. Basic applications in analogue and digital electronics are examined. In seminars and labs, students are introduced to basic principles of device simulation, measurement of device characteristics and extraction of device parameters. Operation of electron devices in electronic systems is then analyzed using the PSpice simulator.
