Imagine you're cooking. You're trying to develop a unique flavor by mixing spices you've never combined before. Predicting how this will turn out could be tricky. You want to create something ...

Semiconductor Physics and Flat Band Potential Semiconductors are materials with electrical properties that lie between those of conductors and insulators. In semiconductors, valence electrons occupy ...

Energy band structures of metal and insulator, Definition of semiconductor, Electrons and holes, and Effective mass. In this module, we will cover carrier statistics. Topics include Currents in ...

Techniques for Band Gap Engineering vary, including doping, the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor to alter its electrical properties; strain engineering, where stress is applied to ...

LEDs are another semiconductor application that relies on the band gap, but for LEDs the band gap plays a role both functional and aesthetic. When a particle or material absorbs energy ...

In this module on metal-semiconductor contacts, we will cover the following topics: Device structure, Equilibrium energy band diagram, Electrostatic analysis, Energy band diagram under bias, ...
