The course will be offered as various modules, with at least one device per module included in the syllabus, based on the availability of resources. Each module will run for an average duration of 3 weeks. Every module will be offered primarily as a lab component, with supplementary lecture classes for conveying information on the principle of operation of the device and overview of fabrication process flow, as necessary. The emphasis in the labs will be on device fabrication and characterization. The following modules will be covered in this course:
(i) MOS devices: MOS capacitors, long channel MOSFETs
(ii) Diodes: solar cell (large area p-n junction), Schottky and ohmic metal-semiconductor contacts
(iii) MEMS and microfluidics: SAW transducers and filters, micro-heaters, microfluidic channels
(iv) Organic semiconductors: Organic LEDs and photodetectors
