Bemerkung Webportal
Microelectronics has become an essential factor and it is impossible to imagine everday life without it.
Which semiconductor devices does a integrated circuit contain?
How do they work? What is a MOSFET?
This lecture announces the student to the fundamental properties of semiconductor materials and the semiconductor devices manufactured out of them.
Beside operation principles of semiconductor devices simple applications like amplifier, inverter and MOS-memory are highlighted. An outlook on the future development of microelectronics completes the lecture.
