- Summary
The p-n junction is one of the most important structures in semiconductor technology. It forms the basis of many electronic devices. This course on "Semiconductor p-n Junction and Contacts" will provide participants with an understanding of p-n junctions and different types of contacts to semiconductors.
What is this 'Microlearning Course' about?
This course provides the theory aspects of the CET subject “Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits” in School of Engineering, Temasek Polytechnic. It provides learners with an understanding of how a p-n junction works and the different junction properties.
Please note that this course must be completed together with the other 2 MLCs in the following sequence:
1. Fundamentals of Semiconductor Materials
2. Semiconductor p-n Junction and Contacts
3. Semiconductor MOSFET
Who is this course designed for?
This course is suitable for learners who are keen to gain insights into the semiconductor industry and who want to deepen their skills in Wafer Fabrication leading to Specialist Diploma in Wafer Fabrication.
What will you take away?
At the end of the course, you will have learned how a p-n junction is formed, different junction properties, the difference between a junction and a contact and the properties of contacts.
Beyond their core business of conducting full-time courses for students, Temasek Polytechnic is also committed to the practical re-skilling and professional development of adult learners. They believe in helping individuals and organisations equip themselves with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of a dynamic economy.
