Lernergebnisse
Kompetenzen
(*)Upon successful completion of the course, students are able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles and established concepts of semiconductor physics, covering the areas listed below. They can describe the fundamental charge carrier transport properties and optical properties of bulk semiconductor systems.

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

Fertigkeiten Kenntnisse
(*)Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • explain and summarize key properties of bulk semiconductors regarding charge carrier transport, and apply this knowledge to different systems (k2,k3);
  • describe and analyze the scattering of charge carriers with the framework of the Boltzmann transport equation (k2);
  • evaluate limitations in charge carrier mobilities, and apply to different semiconductor devices (k4);
  • explain and summarize light-matter interactions in semiconductor bulk crystals (k3), and relate the properties to applications (k2).
(*)During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of semiconductor physics:

  • semiconductor transport in bulk crystals;
  • Boltzmann transport equation and relaxation time approximation;
  • charge carrier scattering mechanisms;
  • semiconductor transport devices;
  • basics of magnetotransport in bulk semiconductors;
  • optical properties of bulk semiconductors: dielectric function, absorption, spontaneous and stimulated emission, van Hove singularities, Bernard-Duraffourg condition;
  • excitons;
  • light emission and light-emitting devices.
Beurteilungskriterien (*)Evaluation criteria will be announced at the beginning of the semester.
Lehrmethoden (*)The course consists of lectures on fundamental properties and current problems related to charge carrier transport and optical properties of semiconductor systems. A script will be created throughout the lecture using a tablet.
