Goal(s)
To understand the physical phenomena which appear in semiconductor materials and are used in microelectronic devices or sensors.
Contact Nathalie MATHIEU, Irina IONICAContent(s)
• Energy bands and charge carriers in semiconductors (crystal lattices, energy bands, effective mass concept, electrons and holes)
• Semiconductor properties at equilibrium (intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, carrier concentrations, evolution with temperature)
• Introduction to semiconductor devices (carrier transport, conductivity and mobility, diffusion, example PN junction)
