Goal(s)

To understand the physical phenomena which appear in semiconductor materials and are used in microelectronic devices or sensors

Contact Pierre Antoine BONNEFONT, Sylvain HUET, Nathalie MATHIEU

Content(s)

• Semiconductor elementary properties at equilibrium (crystal lattices, energy bands, electrons and holes, doping)
• Weak perturbations of equilibrium : charge transport (conduction, carrier mobility, diffusion)
• Poisson equation and consequences (space charge region, potential barrier or well)
• Example : PN junction at equilibrium
• Strong perturbations of equilibrium (carrier generation and recombination, continuity equations)
• Metal-semiconductor contact at equilibrium



Prerequisites
  • Differential equations
  • Basics in physics (electrostatics)

Test

Procedures for the written exams in sessions 1 and 2:
Only one document allowed: A4 RV form distributed in class and completed by hand
