| Learning Outcome: | Students comprehend basic concepts, models and methods in the field of semiconductor physics and application. They recognize the connections between basic physical research and semiconductor technology based on the range of topics of the lecture and have gained insight into semiconductor research topics of BTU Cottbus – Senftenberg. |
| Contents: | Starting with a basic presentation of semiconductor physics, the most important semiconductor devices will be presented. The central technologies for their production will be discussed.
- Semiconductor physics: band model, doping, semiclassical description, drift diffusion model
- Semiconductor technology: crystal growth, wafer fabrication, doping techniques, structuring techniques
- Devices: pn-junction, LEDs, MIS structure, bipolar and field effect transistor, solar cell
Self organised studies include:
- discussion of a research paper
- working out of exercises
