Introduction to Semiconductor Materials

This lecture will focus on various materials, such as semiconductors, insulators, and metals, for high-performance nano-devices. Lecture will start from basics of semiconductor materials to understand PN junction principles and its applications. The expected roles of novel nano-materials for high-perfomance MOS transistors and ULSIs will be explained. The introductions of research activities related to nano-materials developed in Materials Engineering department will be also made. This is an intensive course and will be given in English.
