SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS
COURSE INTRODUCTION
299002
Hello dear students, welcome to semiconductor physics course
introduction.
Figure 1. Course introduction
Description
The course belongs to Electronic, telecommunication and networks team,
it means that electronic and telecommunication students are enrolled in
it; so its important to identify your group mates.
The course could be eight (8) or sixteen (16) weeks according to the
period offered, so its necessary that you know the period you are
enrolled.
The course type is methodological, therefore it has some practical
exercises but using a simulator like proteus or another one of your
preference.
The credit number is two (2); it means that the course has two (2)
academic units, and the previous concepts that must know are ohm law
and circuit analysis.

Course contents
As I said before, the course has two (2) units. The first one we work on
semiconductor elementals, researching about basic semiconductor
devices, PN union and so on. The second unit named Semiconductor
Technology and engineering will go deep in semiconductor devices in
different applications, according to its features.

Learning Strategy
The learning strategy applied in course is the Task-Based Learning where
the student will acquire the concepts through the next steps:
Pre-Task Context of semiconductor physics
Task cycle 1 PN union devices
Task cycle 2 unipolar, bipolar and special devices
Post-task Concept application in a simulated scenario

Evaluation structure
In evaluation structure we have the score distribution according to:
Self-evaluation, co-evaluation and hetero-evaluation
Self-evaluation and co-evaluation are formative, so they have no score
The hetero-evaluation has three (3) categories:
Initial activity that has five percent of weight, meaning 25 points
Intermediate activities has seventy percent of weight, meaning
three hundred and fifty points
And the last one, final activity has twenty five percent of weight,
meaning 125 points
At the end, the course will have five hundred points distributed in the
activities.

Purpouses and competences
Purpouses
Fortify in students the concepts of the physics of semiconductor
materials, through the designed activities.
Analyze different variables mathematically to solve specific physic
exercises, according to the contents of the course.
Interpret the different electric and electronic circuits where the
semiconductor devices are involve to understand their function
Competences
The student identifies the different physics phenomena involved in
study of semiconductor materials, and analyze them to solve
practical exercises.
The student should understand, analyze and explain the
semiconductor devices behavior in specific applications of the
electronic field.

Special educational needs
These are software available to special educational needs students,
allowing an easy access to the documentation and any other information
to make their activities with no difficulty

End
Well, that was a brief introduction. I really appreciate the time youve
dedicated to see this video, and finally, I hope this video help you to know
the course.
Thanks so much.
