Physics of semiconductors & semiconductors devices - 4PMBPSS4

Physical and electrical conducting properties of semiconductors :
• Semiconductor elementary properties at equilibrium (structures, energy bands, electron and hole, doping)
•Poisson equation and consequences (Space Charge Region, potential barrier or well)
•Weak perturbations of equilibrium : charge transport (conduction, carrier mobility, diffusion, Hall effect)
•Strong perturbations of equilibrium (carrier generation and recombination)
Principle of operation and electrical characteristics of basic semiconductor devices:
•PN junctions
•MOS capacitors
•MOS transistors

Basics of :
• Quantum Physics
• Statistical Physics
• Solid-State Physics (electronic properties, energy bands, charge carriers)
