Basic Device Physics

Semiconductor operation can be very difficult to understand.  The complex mathematics and physics make this topic difficult for even the best students and engineers to understand.  However, there is a different way to understand device physics, and that is through visual concepts. Basic Device Physics is an 8-hour online course that offers detailed instruction on the physics behind the operation of a modern integrated circuit. We place special emphasis on the fundamentals of semiconductor operation, and stay away from the difficult mathematics that usually follows from this topic.  This course is a must for every manager, engineer and technician working in the semiconductor industry, using semiconductor components or supplying tools to the industry.

Our instructors work hard to explain how semiconductor devices work without delving heavily into the complex physics and mathematical expressions that normally accompany this discipline.
