Editor: Date:2019-11-14 Hits:185

Contents and Syllabus of the course 

First quarter cover p-n junctions, heterojunctions, HBTs, FETs and MOSFETs operating under DC conditions. Here drift diffusion analysis and thermionic emission will be employed to describe current flow. In the next quarter, it is suggested that the Boltzmann transport analysis contained in the Appendix be covered and the basis for the drift-diffusion formalism explained. Next the methodology for deriving the high frequency properties of devices such as HBTs and FETs along with their equivalent circuits is covered. Lastly, High Electron Mobility Transistors and Gallium Nitride based devices may be covered

Introduction

Dr. Khurram Shehzad obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering (with focus on electronic materials) from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing, China. From 2011-2013, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Nano and Micro Mechanics, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the College of Information Science and Electronics, Zhejiang University, China, from 2014-2017. Currently, he is a faculty member at College of Information Science and Electronics, Zhejiang University, China.  Dr. Khurram has a strong background of Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science/Engineering which makes him a perfect choice for advanced multidisciplinary teaching/research. He has taught course on Microelectroncis Device Physics at both grad and undergrad level. He is the recipient of several awards including International Young Scientist Fellowship from NSF China, Nanchang University Fellowship, CAS President Fellowship, and the Cultural Exchange Fellowship. His current research interests include hetero-structures and the macro-assemblies of two-dimensional materials for their applications in energy, healthcare, and electronics.
