Learning Outcomes of UE

This course introduces the characteristics and basic devices concerning semiconductor materials. We focus on the description of the material properties. At the end this allows us to study more complex structures involving contacts between different materials. At the end of this course students should be able to read the actual literature in the field.

Content of UE

Band structure, transport and conduction, equilibrium concentration, drift and diffusion, PN junctions.

Prior Experience
