Semiconductor Technology

Course content

• Semiconductor diodes and circuit examples
• Bipolar transistors and basic circuits
• Field-effect transistors and basic circuits
• HF behaviour of basic transistor circuits
• Differential amplifiers
• Push-pull amplifiers

Students have to solve examples in exercises, partly with computer support.

Theoretical relationships are illustrated in practical laboratory exercises.

Learning outcomes

Graduates

• are familiar with the function and operation of diodes and transistors,
• are able to select the proper components for a specific task and
• understand their application in elementary semiconductor circuits and can design and implement such circuits.
