Course Description: This course provides the student with the fundamental skills to understand
the basic of semiconductor and components like diode, transistor, FET and MOSFET. It will build
mathematical and numerical background for design of electronics circuit & component value.
Students equipped with the knowledge and training provided in the course will be able to participate
in design, development and operation in the different area of electronics system.

Course Purpose: One of the main goals of this course is to explain the basic concepts of semi-
conductor diode and its current-voltage relationship. Various applications of junction diode are
discussed and various types of diodes are also explained. Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and
Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) are evolved as two PN-junction devices. Relations of various currents
and voltages in these transistors are explained in detail. The effect of temperature on these
semiconductor devices is highlighted. Similarly, the working principles of MOSFETS are also taught.
Their critical parameters impacting design of amplifiers are talked about in detail.

Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, the learner will be able to
