Open Discussion
Proposed topic for discussion: What would be wrong with an ece course something like "Materials and Chemistry for ECE" as an alternative to Chem 102? I think that could be great prep for 329, 340, lasers, etc. There has to be some chem in it, with the first half of the course largely similar to Chem 102. The second half of the course could instead focus on more practical things like insulators, conductors, semicond. (organic and inorganic) without talking about devices, per se, but built up from the chemistry principles.
Preliminary feedback:
1) We should explore the development of a chemistry class specifically for EE students.
2) In looking at the topics covered in Chem 102, I think that we should cover most of those but add some emphasis on the following topics:
*Oxidation-Reduction
*Reactions involved in the growth of bulk semiconductors and epitaxial growth:
-Silicon Purification
-Metalorganic Reactions
-Chloride Reactions
*Important reactions in semiconductor processing
These would help set up the discussions that take place in classes like 444.
