Covers quantum physics, Schroedinger's equation, quantized energy levels, quantum numbers, photons, stimulated emission and lasers, bonding, energy bands, electron statistics, intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, and the physics of the pn junction and pn junction devices such as solar cells, bipolar junction transistor, junction field-effect transistor, and metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 0.5 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): EE 271 and EE 301 (taken). Note: Students with credit for EE 372 will not receive credit for this course.
