Diode - pn junction and metal semiconductor contact

This course may also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5631, part of the CU Boulder Master of Science in Electrical Engineering program. This course provides a detailed discussion and analysis of p-n junctions and metal-semiconductor contacts, including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance response under bias, breakdown, non-recoverable behavior, and skin effects. You will perform complex analyses and be able to apply them to electronic devices. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Analyze a p-n junction at equilibrium and under bias, capacitance and current characteristics, and breakdown behavior 2. Analyze a metal-semiconductor contact at equilibrium and under bias, capacitance and current characteristics, non-recoverable contact, and skin effects
