Outline of lecture
Field effect transistors based on thin film technologies have been contributed to the back-plain of the displays for the information society, and also applied to the power devices for low-carbon societies.
This class provides the basics of physics and device characteristics of FETs, and issues for their applications. After studying the field-effect transistor MOS FETs, Thin film transistors (semiconductor materials: Si, metal oxides, carbon-based) will be explained.
Then, the power FETs using new materials(SiC, GaN, Diamond) will be introduced.
Purpose of lecture
The objectives of this class are to understand;
(1) The physical principles and operational characteristics of FETs:
MOSFET, TFTs(Thin Film Transistors), advanced power FETs,
(2) Issues and key technologies for the applications: LSIs,information displays,power-control.
By taking this class, students are expected to get familiar with technologies of modern devices and physics based on thin film technologies, and to know the importance of their applications.
