Hi

Though my study level of electronics is very basic I have seen in books they don't tell you how electronic components are made and how they work inside. For instance, some of the books I have seen don't even tell that how resistors work and how they are made. Well, they do say resistors are made from carbon. The same goes for diodes etc. I wanted to know which course/degree address this aspect(s). Please let me know. Thank you.

With best wishes

Hello,

This is not a course, but a set of linkpages from the EDUCYPEDIA:
Batteries
Buzzers
Capacitors
Chip packaging technology
Coils
Components
Crystals
DIAC
Diodes
Diode types
EMC-EMI filters
Heat Sinks
IC identification
JFET
Mosfet's
Peltier
Photo diode
Phototransistor technology
Photovoltaic systems
Processing
Relays
Resistors
Resistor: Linear
Resistor: Nonlinear
RF transformers
Semiconductors
Solar cells
Switches
TFT technology
Thermoelectric cooling
Thyristor
Transformers

Triac
UJT
Varistors

Each page has a list of links to either universities or manufacturers with a lot of information on the components.

There is a book which explains the basic structures of resistors, capacitors and transistors plus analysis of some basic and useful circuits.

This is:

Electronic Testing and Fault Diagnosis by G C Loveday
