Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Master expertise.
• Have developed the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous cycle to a level that extends beyond the Bachelor's course in Physics, and which provides the basis for the development and implementation of original ideas in a professional context.
• Provide clear and accurate information.
• Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
• Grow personally and professionally.
• Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.

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.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

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

Prior Experience

Solid state physics: basics.
