Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Solid devices are anecessary for the realization of high level electron, information, and communication systems. The purpose of this lecture is to study the groundings of electron state of solid from the viewpoint of application to electron devices. Here, the evaluation items of "knowledge and understanding" and "ability and sill" are as follows. Learning and understanding of the knoledge necessary in the fields of electricity, electron, and information.
