Introduction Solid-state electronics for integrated circuits (APh 9) is a lecture/laboratory course designed so that first-year undergraduate students can obtain hands-on experience on the fabrication and measurement of common semiconductor devices. The laboratory exercises during the first term of this two - term course consist of the processing of light emitting diodes, Schottky diodes, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitors, p-n junction diodes and field-effect transistors. Students start with plain wafers of silicon or gallium arsenide phosphide and have to design, create, and measure their own devices. Laboratory teaching assistants supervise the students in these tasks, instruct them on how to make their own photolithography masks and guide the students through the lithography, pattern transfer, metallization and device measurement procedures. During the second term of the class, students build on the experience which they gained during the first term, and construct more advanced devices, including MOS field effect transistors, bipolar transistors, microelectromechanical microphones, and laser diodes. Policies The class policies are available in pdf format. Textbook - Required Laboratory Manual: Introduction to Integrated Circuits, by  A. Scherer, G. DeRose and D.
