Course Name: Modern Power Devices and Smart Power ICs
Credit: 2
Prerequisites: Physics of Semiconductor Devices
Description:
This course will cover modern power devices including power rectifiers, power MOSFETs, power JFET, insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), MOS-controlled thyristor (MCT) and new developments in SiC and GaN based power devices. It will also cover the RESURF principle, analysis of integrable lateral power devices, such as lateral MOSFET’s, lateral IGBT and lateral MCT’s, dielectric and junction isolation, device cross-talk suppression, and typical applications of smart power ICs.
