\nFinal Exam:<\/strong>\u00a0Wednesday Dec 11, 2013 from 10-11:50 a.m. (Comprehensive)<\/p>\n


\nGrading:<\/strong>
\nExam 1: 10%

\nFinal exam: 30%
\nProject: 20%
\nHomework: 20%

\nCourse syllabus:<\/strong>
\nThe course will cover fundamentals of both semiconductor physics and electronic devices. On the physics side we will learn about fundamental properties of semiconductor materials, crystal structure, charge carriers, energy bands, optical absorption (direct\/indirect), electrical properties (drift\/diffusion), and mobility and diffusion. On the device side, we will learn about P-N diode, Schottky barrier, bipolar junction transistor, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), solar cells, and photodiodes. Application of COMSOL, a finite element analysis solver and simulation software, will be included to help students analyze situations that they are likely to encounter in industry practice.
\nExam Rules:
\n<\/strong>1. All tests are closed book and notes. You may have one formula sheet in your own handwriting – no typing or reduction copying.
\n2. Calculators are permitted – no laptop, ipad.
\n3. There will be NO make up test under any circumstances. If the absence is confirmed by the professor (not TA), the percentage of the missed test will be given to the final exam.<\/p>\n

Homework:<\/strong>
\nThe homework will be collected at the start of the class on the day that it is due. Late homework will NOT be accepted no matter what the reason.
\nHome works must be written on Letter size papers, stapled on the top left corner, with a cover sheet indicating your name, HW number, and the due date.<\/p>\n

Academic Integrity:<\/strong>
\nHomewroks will be screened for plagiarism and academic integrity. Copying another student\u2019s assignment or computer program, turning in HW that is identical or very similar to others\u2019 HW, or receiving help on assignments without permission of the instructor are violation of academic integrity and will be treated strictly by OSU Policy and Procedures. Violations will result in your being sanctioned including: receiving a failing grade, receiving a notation of a violation of academic integrity on your transcript (F!), and being suspended from the University. Refer to the OSU Academic Integrity webpage for more information:http:\/\/academicintegrity.okstate.edu<\/a>
\nDrop Policy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

OSU regulations regarding drop policies will be followed without exception.<\/p>\n

Disability:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please review the OSU Administrative Regulations and Student Policies as found in the OSU Catalog.\u00a0 Anyone who has any disability or need which requires special attention should make this known\u00a0to both myself and the ECEN Department.<\/p>\n
