Learning Outcomes
Competences
Upon successful completion of the course, students are able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of fundamental and advanced principles as well as established concepts of semiconductor physics, covering the areas listed below. They are able to discuss and solve problems in the area of the semiconductor physics. They can describe electrical and optoelectronic applications of semiconductor systems.

This exercise builds on the fundamentals taught in the lecture and exercise Halbleiterphysik. It is methodologically complemented by the lecture Advanced Semiconductor Physics.

Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • apply their mathematical and physical knowledge for deriving key equations and quantities in semiconductor transport and semiconductor optics (k3);
  • describe and critically evaluate experimental methodologies used to investigate state-of-the-art semiconductor systems (k2/k5), with a focus on collecting and breaking down information from the scientific literature (k4);
  • engage with current research topics in the field and discuss recent developments (k5);
  • apply fundamental semiconductor concepts and equations to analyze experimental data (k3/k4).
During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of semiconductor physics:

  • electrical transport in semiconductor bulk and nanostructures;
  • thermal transport;
  • light emission in semiconductor bulk and nanostructures;
  • experimental methods to determine transport and optical properties of semiconductors;
  • fabrication of semiconductor transport devices and optoelectronic devices.
Criteria for evaluation Evaluation will be based on the number of successfully solved exercises, the quality of the presentation, and active participation in the exercise class.
Methods Students are expected to solve exercise questions and do literature research as part of their self-study. The solutions and summaries are then presented and discussed in class.
