  1. chemistry Economics Semiconductor processing Materials science Information theory Solid-state physics Semiconductor physics Device physics circuits Transistor level Higher level Control theory Core knowledge body of the device engineer A Digression: The Vast Field of Electrical Engineering • But, each small field can consume one’s entire life • So, how can one be a good device engineer??? Chuang Tzu: My life is limited while knowledge is unlimited. Pursuing the unlimited with the limited, it is just hopeless! 莊子： 吾生也有涯 而知也無涯 以有涯逐無涯 殆矣

  2. chemistry Economics Semiconductor processing Materials science Information theory Solid-state physics Semiconductor physics Device physics circuits Transistor level Higher level Control theory Core knowledge body of the device engineer A Digression: The Vast Field of Electrical Engineering How can one be a good device engineer??? The big picture! And, life-long learning! This course is about the big picture. It willed be tailored to suit your research interest; we have a small class after all.
