Learning outcomes
Develop understanding of the fundamentals of semiconductor physics (energy bands, charge carriers, doping, conductivity, mobility, junctions between conductors, semiconductors, dielectrics) Apply this knowledge to understanding the operating principles of the key semiconductor devices (e.g. p-n junction, Schottky and tunnel diodes, junction and field effect transistors, photovoltaic devices) the materials parameters affecting these. Develop a physical understanding that can be applied to novel devices (e.g. bulk heterojunction devices) , materials (e.g. metal oxides, organics) or processes (e.g. printing)
