Announcements:

1/24/13: There were typographical errors on Slide 6 ("0.7 V" should be "0.7 eV") and on Slide 13 ("eV" should be "meV") of the Lecture 2 notes, which are now corrected.
2/5/13: There was an error (wrong value of hole thermal velocity) on Slide 12 of Lecture 4, which is now corrected.
2/7/13: Sign errors for the hole diffusion term on Slides 5 and 9 of Lecture 5 are now corrected.
2/14/13: There was a sign error for the hole diffusion term on Slide 4 of Lecture 6, which is now corrected.
2/20/13: There were errors (an extra factor of "q" before the Schottky barrier height) in Lecture 8 Slides 11 and 18, which are now corrected.
3/5/13: Sign errors on Slides 7 and 8 of Lecture 13 have been corrected. (QP is positive and QN is negative, for forward bias. Since electrons are supplied in the -x direction in order to maintain QN within the quasi-neutral p-type region, there should be a negative sign in front of the term QN/tau.)
4/30/13: Errors on Slide 9 of Lecture 22 have been corrected. Note that IDsat is not dependent on the bulk charge factor m, for a short-channel MOSFET.
4/16/13: Sentaurus 2012 version has been installed on one of the instructional servers. Device simulation and visualization from both unix and windows clients have been tested. Please see Slide 13 of the Sentaurus Tutorial Slides (Project folder) and the detailed announcement on piazza.

5/16/13: Any requests to regrade homework assignments should be made to the reader (Sergio: serg.hidalgo at berkeley dot edu) by 12 noon on Friday May 18.
