2) 教科書: No. References are provided in the course, and some are: Z C Feng/J H Zhao, Silicon Carbide Materials, Processing, and Devices (Taylor & Francis, 2003); Z C Feng, SiC Power Materials, Devices and Applications, Springer, 2004); J I Pankove/T D Moustakas, Gallium Nitride II (Academic, 1999).
3) 成績評量方式 : Homework (20%), mid-term exam (40%), final exam (40%)
4) 預修課程: No. (Notes – difference with the course Wide Gap Semiconductor Tech. (WGST): WGST uses Nakamura’s The Blue Laser Diode as textbook and is limited with mainly Nitrides and Nichia’s results. This course deals with much wide range of short-wavelength (or wide gap) semiconductor systems and more advanced growth/analysis engineering, emphasizing for industry.
