Brief introduction of solid-state physics and crystallography. Mainly focus on the knowledge of semiconductor physics, condensed matter physics and semiconductor device physics: Intrinsic semiconductor, doped semiconductor and the carrier transportation in semiconductors will be introduced; the operating principles of some kinds of semiconductor devices will be introduced, such as pn junction, MS junction and FET, as well as the fabrication method and application in present. Also, some commercial semiconductor devices, such as LED and solar cells, will be introduced.

CILO-1: Students will be able to explain the formation of energy bands and describe the motion of electrons in semiconductors. CILO-2: Students will be able to explain the defect levels in semiconductors and calculate the carrier distribution in the equilibrium state. CILO-3: Students will be able to explain the conductive mechanism of semiconductors, especially the scattering mechanism. CILO-4: Students will be able to describe the carrier distribution in semiconductors by continuity equation in the general state. CILO-5: Students will be able to draw the band diagram of pn junction and MS junction, and explain their working mechanisms.
