Inhalt:

• semiconductor materials, elementary, binary, ternary and quaternary semiconductors, crystal structures

• formation of band structures, direct and indirect semiconductors, bandgap, effective mass of carriers

• carrier statistics, Fermi-distribution, density of states, carrier densities

• intrinsic and doped semiconductors, carrier concentration and position of Fermi energy versus temperature, degenerate semiconductors

• epitaxy of semiconductors, quantum wells and quantum dots, characterization of epitaxial layers

• patterning of semiconductors, lithography, etching and material deposition

• carrier transport, Drude model, scattering processes, thermal and drift velocity, mobility, conductivity

• diffusion, band structure in electric field

• pn-junction, doping concentration, carrier densities, depletion region, electric field and potential

• biased pn-junction, carrier transport and current-voltage characteristic
  

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The lecture enables the students to understand the basic physical properties of semiconductors. The fundamentals of semiconductor devices are introduced based on a discussion of the pn-junction diode. The lecture also covers technological aspects such as growth and processing of semiconductors.
