Semiconductor Theory, materials and Devices
From fundamental to advanced nanoscale devices
ECE524: Quantum Materials & Devices
Course Acronym: QMD
Semester: Monsoon
Level: Senior UG, PG and PhD
This course aims to develop a broader understanding of beyond-CMOS electronic devices. It will introduce students to the rapidly growing field of quantum materials and devices, specifically the fundamental role of quantum physics in modern electronic, spintronic, and molecular devices for both logic and memory applications. It will also highlight ongoing research on possible alternatives and novel materials for these advanced devices.

[It's also one of the core courses for "Minor in Quantum Technologies" to BTech students at IIITD. The regulations for the same can be found here.]
ECE210: Physics of Semiconductor Devices
Course Acronym: PSD
Semester: Winter
Level: UG
This course is designed to prepare the fundamental concepts of semiconductor physics, which are necessary to understand electronic devices. It will introduce students to the materials, transport mechanisms, and basic insight into various electronic and optoelectronic devices such as pn junction diodes, Schottky diodes, solar cells, LEDs, and the foundation of MOSFET. This course will ensure that students, even with a minimal background in semiconductors, grasp the concepts and prepare for more advanced courses in semiconductor technology.
