Electronic Materials (EM)3 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Electronic Materials)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Grundlagenfächer)

Modulverantwortliche/r: Mathias Göken
Lehrende: Sven Höfling

Start semester: WS 2017/2018Duration: 1 semesterCycle: jährlich (WS)
Präsenzzeit: 30 Std.Eigenstudium: 60 Std.Language: Englisch

Lectures:

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.
