PHYS 618 - Semi-conductor Electro-Optic Devices

[3]

A lecture/laboratory course in semi-conductor device physics and the modeling, design and fabrication of electro-optic devices. Carrier drift, diffusion, recombination, p-n junctions and metal-semi-conductor junctions are examined. Waveguides and laser cavities are modeled. Cleanroom facilities and fabrication processing are used to create photodetectors, waveguide modulators and semi-conductor lasers.
