 | | Basic physics of semiconductors: wave-particle duality, Schrodinger’s equation, E-k diagrams, energy bands, direct and indirect band gaps, density of states, Fermi level, intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, drift and diffusion, recombination and generation, continuity equation. |
 | | Calculate allowed electron energy levels in single atoms from solutions of Schrodinger Equation, and be familiar with the concept of energy bands. |
 | | Be familiar with the idea of the Fermi Level, and the formation of n and p type semiconductors by the deliberate addition of dopant atoms. |
