Solid State Devices: Course Materials

Description:
These course materials, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), are resources that can be used to teach the basics of semiconductor materials and devices to students pursuing an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in electronics technology. Topics covered include: Semiconductor Fundamentals, PN Junctions and Diodes, Power Supply Fundamentals, Introduction to Transistors, Amplifier Fundamentals, and more.

Contents:
Course materials include a Solid State Devices: Course Materials guide and four labs. Also included are documents related to the Power Amplifier Lab.

The 9-page Solid Solid State Devices Course Materials guide provides an overview of the course and includes the following topics: Traditional View, New Systems View, Solid State Devices Instructional Materials List, Student Learning Outcomes, and Detailed Course Outline.

The labs included in this course cover topics such as Device Pathology, Up Converters, Power Amplifiers, and The Role of Devices in Systems. 

For orientation purposes the Solid State Devices.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a detailed description of the course materials.

Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis.
