Content
The lectures present in a dynamic way, based in good part on questions by the students, the concepts described above. The lectures and the practical sessions are both complementary with the written notes that present the concepts in more details. The exercises aim at applying the course concepts to solve problems related to semiconductor physics and basic electronics devices.
Teaching methods
Lectures and practical sessions. The comparison between theory and the characteristics of real devices is important in the teaching approach to discuss and validate the model simplifications.
Evaluation methods
Students are evaluated individually on the basis of a written exam including a part of theory (developments of concepts), and another of problem solving (of the same level than those of solved during the practical sessions of the course).
A preliminary evaluation on part 1 will take place in S8. A note higher than 13/20 for the preliminary evaluation gives rise to bonus on the final note of the exam.

Other information
This course requires a bachelor level knowledge in general physics and electricity as well as some basics in quantum mechanics.
