Electronic Materials and Technologies

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This course presents basic concepts about materials science and device technologies used in electrical and electronic systems. Nano-scale structures and material properties, basic quantum mechanics for electrons in solids and in crystals, conductor, insulator, semiconductor and magnetic materials will be covered. The course will provide foundational knowledge about passive components, manufacturing technologies, packaging and interconnection methods, including printed circuit technologies, hybrid circuit technologies, and monolithic integration technologies. Students will be encouraged to include considerations about the properties of materials, engineering tolerances and technological feasibility in their decision-making processes.
