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 ...

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 ...

Research team led by Dr. Seo at KERI develops radiation resistance evaluation technology for SiC power semiconductors.

It all comes down to the bandgap. Electrons in a semiconductor can sit in one of two energy bands – the valence band, or the conducting band. To jump from the valence band to the conducting band ...

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 ...

The course balances fundamental physics with application to semiconductors and other electronic devices. Prior knowledge needed: Introductory physics including electromagnetics and modern physics and ...
