Course description

-overview :

This course provides basic knowledge about semiconductor transistors and their operation principles for the students who will study Silicon thin film transistor  as a major. Students need to understand the different characteristics of transistor and consider the various effects of scaling, bias, doping, interface. Furthermore, this provides basic knowledge about JFET, MESFET, thin film transistor and low temperature poly silicon technology.

-application

design and fabrication of Silicon thin film transistor.
