• Weak perturbations of equilibrium : charge transport (conduction, carrier mobility, diffusion)
• Poisson equation and consequences (space charge region, potential barrier or well)
• PN junction
• Strong perturbations of equilibrium (carrier generation and recombination)
• Metal-semiconductor contact
