Undergraduate Semiconductor Characterization Laboratory

电子计算机工程系的教师，在 与科学数学系的物理系合作 GMI工程管理学院（GMI-EMI） 已经认识到有必要更新电子课程 包括更全面的固态材料覆盖面， 装置.为此，增加了一门课程“固态器件”， 该课程为本科生提供了一个可行的 该领域的理论背景。通过这个项目，GMI-EMI 在课程中增加了实验室部分。该补编 通过提供实践来增强理解！盈利环境 学生们可以在这里练习固态器件的科学 表征并将其观察结果与 建立的理论。 具体来说，固态材料和器件课程 在GMI-EMI的分量是通过增加实验增强 在以下领域进行调查：1.基本半导体 运输参数; 2.深能杂质能级; 3.P-N 结器件表征;以及4. MOS器件 特征化拟议的实验旨在促进 理解的深度，对理论模型的欣赏， 一种实用感，一种兴趣、兴奋和 学生的热情。 采购的主要设备包括电流源， 静电计、电容计、单色器、低温恒温器和 用于仪器控制和数据的微计算机硬件/软件 采集该设备便于动态实验室 调查和促进对 学生

The faculty of the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, in conjunction with the physics faculty in the Science & Mathematics Department, at GMI Engineering & Management Institute (GMI-EMI) have recognized the need for upgrading the electronics curriculum to include more comprehensive coverage of solid state materials and devices. To this end, a course Solid State Devices, was added to the curriculum to provide undergraduates with a workable theoretical background in the field. Through this project, GMI-EMI adds a laboratory component to the course. Such a supplement enhances understanding by providing a hands-on !earning environment where students can practice the science of solid state device characterization and correlate their observations with well established theories. Specifically, the solid state materials and device curriculum component at GMI-EMI is enhanced by adding experimental investigations in the areas of: 1. Fundamental semiconductor transport parameters; 2. Deep energy impurity levels; 3.P-N junction device characterization; and 4. MOS device characterization. The proposed experiments are intended to foster a depth of understanding, an appreciation for theoretical models, a sense of practicality, and an element of interest, excitement and enthusiasm among students. The major equipment purchased includes current sources, electrometers, capacitance meter, monochromator, cryostats, and microcomputer hardware/software for instrument control and data acquisition. This equipment facilitates dynamic laboratory investigations and promotes clear conceptual understanding for the students.
