The course includes an overview of basic and advanced physical phenomena in semiconductors and semiconductor technologies that are used in the design of semiconductor devices. The course will explain the nature of the mechanical, electrical and optical properties of intrinsic and doped semiconductors. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of classical and quantum phenomena in semiconductor technologies involving diodes, lasers and photodetectors.
