The courseware entitled 'Fundamental of Semiconductor Devices' is intended to assist undergraduate-level student' learning by bringing a sense of reality to the concepts. The fast prototype design model is used to develop the courseware with the aid of the Macromedia Flash MX2004, Swift 3D, Adobe Photoshop development tools. The main purpose of this courseware is to overcome the student's misconception on several topics of semiconductor devices and to develop an e-book of Semiconductor Devices.
