Course Description
The student will identify the materials used in semiconductors. He or she will demonstrate an understanding by explaining how electrons and holes flow in semiconductors. He or she also will describe basic amplifier configurations, explain how to bias amplifier configurations, and calculate the gain and stability for bipolar and unipolar devices. Basic components must be purchased by the student.
