Semiconductor Device Physics isOur EE s Common Language of How to Speak up for Semiconductor Devices from the EE Point of View:

- Capture Needed Knowledge from Other non-EE Groups- Define the Same Terminology- Develop the Same Concepts

Valid even in the future Nano era.

Our NCTU EE has a good Scientific reputation

in the field of Semiconductors worldwide . Semiconductors are the Benchmarks of

how a Country like Taiwan has been respected.

Physics : Concepts involved with a device under study

(fundamental laws, logical thinking, etc.)

Model :A physical Image of the device projectedonto your mind.

(pictures, formulas, etc.)

Modeling :Modeling of a device is a quantitative measure ofyour understanding of the device.

(calculation, data fitting, parameter extraction, etc.)
