ECE 5010 - Electronic Ceramics

3 Credits (Minimum) 3 Credits (Maximum)

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. Prer., ECE 4070/5070.
