    Many of you may have already completed a semester-long class focused on devices, perhaps even more than one. However, if you took that class a while ago or have only the minimum exposure to semiconductor devices, we have developed this short course to review the fundamentals you will need to be successful in this specialization.

    Week 1.1: Semiconductor Basics

    Week 1.2: P-N Junction Diodes

    Week 1.3: MOS Capacitors
