SEMICONDUCTOR PHYSICS REVIEW –
BONDS, BANDS, EFFECTIVE MASS
.... energizing Ohio for the 21st Century
On today’s menu
• Review of semiconductor physics‐ bonds and bands in crystals‐ electrons and holes‐ valence/conduction bands, ‐HOMO‐LUMO concepts
• drift and diffusion• photogenerated carriers‐Absorption coefficient, depth dependence‐ direct vs. indirect gap
• recombination mechanisms
