This video, made available by the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC), is part of the NEATEC Electronics I Series from Professor Roger Young. This video is the third of three that discuss the bipolar junction transistor as an amplifier. The recording runs 23:54 minutes in...

This animation is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and illustrates the diffusion process. The objective of the animation is to explain the difference between the Vacancy and Interstitial diffusion models. These models have been developed to explain the mechanism for...

This video, made available by the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC), is part of the NEATEC Electronics I Series from Professor Roger Young. This video describes the diode, a semiconductor device with two terminals that allows the current to flow in only one direction. The...

This interactive presentation, created by James Bourassa and hosted by the Electromechanical Digital Library, provides a detailed explanation of different physics laws regularly employed by electricians. The presentation performs rearrangements of Ohm's and Watt's laws, these respectively being V=IR...

This animation is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and shows the plasma etching of silicon dioxide. In this type of plasma etching process, a chlorine gas and argon gas mixture is used. The chlorine gas neutral charge molecules bond with the surface silicon dioxide...

This video, made available by the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC), is part of the NEATEC Electronics I Series from Professor Roger Young. This video describes the field effect transistor, a device that can be used to control the flow of current. The recording runs 49:19 ...

Created by Terry L.M. Bartelt of Wisconsin Online Resource Center is this learning object focused on the lesson of the generation of alternate current. This is a nice brief introduction for those interested in basic electronic theories.

This web site provides links to software simulations, course materials, and curriculum for technology training. Tutorials are available on digital logic, digital signal processing, fiber optics, renewable energy, motors, and interfaces. Tables include AWG wire gauge, resistance values, and capacitor...

This animation is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and shows the making of the CMOS Microchip. The objective of this animation is to determine the process steps needed to complete a CMOS device. An .mp4 is also available for viewing and runs 9:04 minutes in length. 

The authors apply the Toyota Production System to semiconductor manufacturing. They advance the idea that today a fabrication plant must be able to make many types of products at small volume. This represents a sea change for the semiconductor industry.
