It culminates in a residency at IISc for a lab component at Bangalore \/ Bengaluru.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We have covered till now Basics of Semiconductor Devices and Technology and currently we just finished Physics and Design of Transistors. This certification is completing the loop of understanding the whole lifecycle of electronics and technology from the physics to hardware to technology \/ software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First module included various types of semi-conductor materials, physics behind the semiconductors like Fermi level, band gaps, conduction \/ valence bands, understanding of quantum physics, bonds, mathematics behind all this with numerical, doping, barriers, PN junction diode \/ it&#8217;s biasing and much more. We had an open book quiz at the end of the module.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second module is on MOSFETs, BJTs, FINFETs and more. We recently finished it. I will provide more updates as we progress in the course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thankful to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/prof-mayank-shrivastava-06439413?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAK5yEwB2kLMd1w7vv-uuQcgfluOztuuUvI\">Prof. Mayank Shrivastava<\/a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/talentsprint\/\">TalentSprint<\/a>&nbsp;for this opportunity. I would encourage others who are interested in electronics to pick up this certification as the teaching is good and the platform plus team of TalentSprint is very helpful.
