On successfully completing this module a student will be able to:
- Describe at a basic level the physical processes underlying electrical transport and conduction (or non-conduction) in a wide range of solid materials, including metals, semiconductors and insulators
- Analyse the basic operation in static and small-signal conditions of a range of commonly-encountered electronic components and devices, in particular the PN junction and transistor devices both FET and bipolar in kind, including formulating appropriate assumptions and developing compact circuit-level static models of such devices.
- Describe the basic processes used in the semiconductor industry for the manufacture of complex semiconductor components, in particular Integrated Circuits (ICs) including gaining an appreciation of the wider business context, quality control, depreciation cycles, capital investment etc.Describe the impact of the exponential evolution of IC technology (Moore's Law) on current and future product development in Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
- Choose and apply an appropriate device model for use in commercial computer-aided design software tools, appreciate some of the limitations of such models and design and execute basic experiments for model parameter extraction
