Course Objectives The goal of this course at the first step is to give the basic theory of semiconductor devices, namely pn junction diode, bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and MetalOxideSemiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). Their models and the limitations of these models will be then discussed. The design and analysis of diode circuits, simple BJT and MOSFET amplifiers will be studied. PSPICE will be used to simulate the electronic circuits.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain the basic theory of semiconductor materials; the structure and characteristics of pn junction diodes,
  • Analyse simple diode circuits,
  • Design simple BJT amplifiers,
  • Identify simple MOSFET amplifiers,
  • Simulate electronic circuits using PSpice and in the laboratory.
Course Description Basic semiconductor concepts. Physics, characteristics and models of pn junction diodes, BJT and MOSFET transistors. Diode circuits. Transistor biasing. Analysis and design of simple transistor amplifiers. Voltage regulators. Circuit analysis with PSPICE.
