Semiconductor major belongs to physical electronics major. Semiconductor majors study semiconductor materials and their applications in electronics, optoelectronics, microelectronics and other fields. Semiconductor is a kind of material between conductor and insulator, and its electrical properties are between conductor and insulator. Conductive but not completely conductive, but also has certain insulation.

Specifically, students majoring in semiconductor will learn the basic knowledge of semiconductor physics, chemistry and materials science, master the design, manufacturing, testing and analysis technology of semiconductor devices, and understand the application of semiconductor devices.

In this process, students will be exposed to various semiconductor devices, including diodes, field effect transistors, transistors, photoelectric devices, sensors, integrated circuits and so on. In addition, students also need to have experimental skills and innovative thinking ability in order to be able to conduct research and innovation in the field of semiconductors.
