ECE 5010 - Electronic Ceramics

3 Credits

Course covers physical theory of each type of electronic ceramic used in applications such as insulators, resistors, capacitors, fast ion conductors, magnetic ceramic, optical and electro-optical materials, waveguides, lasers, high Tc ceramic superconductors, high dielectric constant materials, and sensors. Course is biased toward thin-films in integrated circuit applications. However, many examples in the current literature of basic materials synthesis techniques, deposition processes and properties will also be an integral part of the course.Prerequisites: ECE 4070/5070
