半導體物理及元件(一)

Semiconductor technology is at the heart of every advanced electronic system—smartphones, 5G infrastructure, AI accelerators, cloud computing, electric vehicles, and beyond. As these applications surge, the demand for innovative semiconductor devices and materials has never been higher. This course provides a foundational yet forward-looking introduction to Semiconductor Physics and Devices, the core knowledge required for researchers and engineers in the Semiconductor, IC, optoelectronics, and power electronics industries. 半導體技術是所有先進電子系統的核心——從智慧型手機、5G 基礎建設、AI 加速器、雲端運算到電動車，都不可或缺。隨著這些應用快速成長，對創新半導體元件與材料的需求也達到前所未有的高度。 本課程將從基礎到前瞻，帶來「半導體物理與元件」的完整介紹，這是所有從事半導體、積體電路、光電、電力電子等領域的研究者與工程師必備的核心知識。 We will cover: 1. Fundamental semiconductor material properties 2. Carrier transport: drift, diffusion, and recombination 3. Operating principles of key devices: p–n diode, BJT, MOSFET, and JFET 4. Emerging challenges in device scaling (short-channel effects, ultra-thin dielectrics, SS limits) 5. A forward look into beyond-Moore technologies, including new materials, architectures, and device concepts By combining rigorous physics with real-world examples and the latest industry trends, the course prepares students for careers in semiconductor R&D, IC design, reliability engineering, and advanced manufacturing. 課程內容涵蓋： 1. 半導體材料的基本特性 2. 載子傳輸機制：漂移、擴散與復合 3. 重要元件的操作原理：p–n 接面二極體、BJT、MOSFET、JFET 4. 元件微縮時所面臨的新挑戰：短通道效應、超薄介電層、次臨界擺幅限制等 5. 超越摩爾定律的前瞻技術，包括新材料、新架構與創新元件概念 本課程透過嚴謹的物理推導、實例分析與產業最新趨勢，協助學生建立扎實的半導體基礎，並為未來在半導體研發、IC 設計、可靠度工程及先進製造領域的職涯發展做好準備。 Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)（預期學習成果） By the end of the course, you will be able to: 1. Explain the essential semiconductor material properties and device physics. 2. Analyze the operating principles of p–n diodes, MOSFETs, BJTs, and JFETs using physical models. 3.
