Semiconductor Physics
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5630, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.This course introduces basic concepts of quantum theory of solids and presents the theory describing the carrier behaviors in semiconductors. The course balances fundamental physics with application to semiconductors and other electronic devices.
At the end of this course learners will be able to:
- Understand the energy band structures and their significance in electric properties of solids
- Analyze the carrier statistics in semiconductors
- Analyze the carrier dynamics and the resulting conduction properties of semiconductors

Reviews
It was a tough course. Especially the 4 th quiz , typing equations with symbols was very confusing.
The course was very good and informative. Assignments was very tough for which we worked out a lot
Concepts are logically placed,with clear explanation
Very well conducted and explained course on semiconductor physics devices fundamental concepts.
