• Photon amplifiers
• Metal-semiconductor bonds
• Bipolar junction transistors
• Metal-oxygen-semiconductor (MOS) devices
• MOS transistors

Internship learning outcomes

• To study the basic mechanisms of electrical conduction in semiconductors
• Understand the principles of basic electronic devices including pn junction, metal-semiconductor junction, bipolar transistors, and field effect transistors
• Analyze and evaluate the performance of basic electronic devices
• Prepare for further analysis of semiconductor-based electronic and photonic devices

Hands-on Learning Project

As you delve into the fundamental physics of semiconductors and their role in modern technology, you will engage in challenging homework assignments that require you to apply operational principles in explanations and calculations. In addition, you will perform complex analyses and exercises to summarize your theoretical knowledge in consultation with peers.
