Learning Outcomes
Competences
Upon successful completion of the class, students are able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and established concepts in Semiconductor- and Solid State Physics, covering the areas listed below. They are able to apply these principles and concepts to particular physical systems.

This lecture is methodologically complemented by the exercise Semiconductor- and Solid State Physics.

Skills Knowledge
By attending the lecture, the students become familiar with the following skills: They are able to

  • understand and discuss basic concepts and phenomena in Semiconductor- and Solid State Physics (k1/k2),
  • formulate and interpret laws and theories of Semiconductor- and Solid State physics in a precise and analytic manner (k3),
  • apply the principles of Semiconductor- and Solid State Physics to systems and problems beyond those exemplary ones discussed in the lecture (k3).
During the lecture, the students acquire knowledge in the following areas of Semiconductor- and Solid State Physics:

Solid State Physics: crystal bindings, crystal structures, reciprocal lattice and x-ray scattering, band structure

Semiconductor Physics: definition of a semiconductor, doping, charge carrier statistics and transport, p-n junction, magneto transport, optical properties.
