ECE 4340
Power Semiconductor Devices

Course information provided by the 2015-2016 Catalog.

It is estimated that at least 50 percent of the electricity used in the world is controlled by power electronics. The efficiency of power electronics circuits has a direct connection with energy conservation. This course seeks to introduce the student to basic power electronic devices, basic power electronic circuits, and their suitability for power applications spanning a large range of currents and voltages. Device operation, design, fabrication, and power electronic circuit issues are discussed. Emphasis is on the device aspects. Examples are drawn from current Si device technology as well as emerging power devices technologies developed from wide bandgap semiconductors.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ECE 3150.

When Offered Spring.
