Dr. Engy ElNayal

Eng. Mohamed Fekri

To enable students to:
1- Introducing Solid state electronics Concept to students studying for Electrical Engineering
2- Students should have a good knowledge about semiconductors and superconductivity of materials 3- Testing of digital circuits, systems should be understood
4- Upgrading their way of thinking towards new technology
5- Applying all theoretical concepts to practical world.
6- Distinguish thermal and optical properties, p-n junctions, and metal-semiconductor contacts
7- Describe blocks of semiconductor devices
8- list mini projects in insulators and semiconductors
9- Summarize all Solid state electronics basics.
10- Design and present comparative studies between different semiconductors types.

1. Fundamentals of semiconductors and basic building blocks of semiconductor devices.
2. Crystal structures, chemical bonds, rotation, and vibration
3. The statistical description of electron gas and the free-electron theory of metals.
4. The motion of electrons in periodic lattices
5. Energy bands, Fermi levels
6. Semiconductors, and insulators.
7. Detection of electrons and holes in semiconductors, impurity effects, generation and recombination, mobility, and other electrical properties of semiconductors.
8. Thermal and optical properties, p-n junctions, and metal-semiconductor contacts
