EL 220 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES



This laboratory research-based course is designed to familiarize the students with the techniques employed in the process of manufacturing semiconductors or integrated circuits (commonly called ICs or chips). Topics covered in this class include wafer production and fabrication, thermal oxidation, masking, doping, dielectric deposition, and metallization, electric test, and assembly. Design for basic IC components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors are covered. Field trips to IC manufacturing facilities and guest lectures by IC layout designers are part of this course. Lecture: 3 hours lecture. Laboratory: 2 hours lab. 4 Credits. Prerequisite: EL 215
