Semiconductor Physics course provides an introduction to the physics of semiconductor materials and devices.
Beginning with the basic physics, the first unit covers a comprehensive coverage of electronic materials about the energy band, density of sates and ocupation probability and discusses the recent developments in the field. The second unit covers the semiconductor fundamentals types, carrier generation and Transport. The third unit includes the light interaction with semiconducting materials about the optical absorption and emission and optical loss and gain. The fourth unit covers the measurement of different semiconducting properties such as carrier concentration, mobility etc using devices. And the last unit discuss in detail the characteristics, operation, and limitations of solid-state electronic devices such as junction diodes, Photodetectors – PIN and Avalanche,LED, LCD, OLED. This course is intended for undergraduate students of Computer science engineering. With the inclusion of some new topics covering recent advances in the field, the course would be a useful for practising engineers.
