Goal(s)
To understand the physical phenomena which appear in semiconductor materials and are used in microelectronic devices or sensors
Contact Nathalie MATHIEU, Sylvain HUET, Antoine BONNEFONTContent(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)
Procedures for the written exams in sessions 1 and 2:
Only one document allowed: A4 RV form distributed in class and completed by hand
Calculator allowed, model validated by Phelma.
