Place
of the course |
Louvain-la-Neuve
|
| Main themes |
Establish physical bases of electronics : band structure, phonons, charge transport equations and carrier generation and recombination mechanisms.
Study physical behaviour and establish first-order models in static and low-frequency small-signal operation, for the three basic electronics devices : PN junction, bipolar transistor and MOS transistor
|
| Aims |
After this course students will be able to
- explain physical electronics bases and use them to solve simple problems in semiconductor physics
- show first-order physical understanding of the behaviours and modellings of basic semiconductor devices, towards their exploitation in the courses of the Electronics module and following courses in Semiconductor devices
|
| Content |
Theoretical lecturers, hands-on laboratories, APPs and APEs. Some parts of the course are introduced through APP activities (projects), other parts introduce theoretical concepts first and apply them in APE next (exercices).
Hands-on labs propose to characterize the devices under study and confort experimental data with theoretical models or calculations. The approach implies a significant discussion of experiments vs theory and the critical validation of necessary simplifying hypotheses and approximations.

Prerequisites :
Quantum mechanics
Assessment :
Written exam with a theoretical part and an exercices part. The theoretical part includes questions of development and understanding of concepts. The exercices are similar to those done in APP and APE problems
