Présentation
Prerequisite
Bases in quantum mechanics.
Goal
The lecture presents basic principles in solid state physics that are necessary to deal with the physics of semicondcutors and electronic devices.
Presentation
Metals
Introduction to spin - Link to magnetism
Many-electron systems : Pauli principle
Free electron gaz - Quasi-continuum
Density of states - Fermi-Dirac statistics
Transport in simple metals - Ohm & Drude laws
Insulators
Crystalline structure: diffraction
Band structure
Propagation in periodic media, Bragg law
Electrons: Kronig-Penney model : forbidden band
Photons : phtonic bandgap materials
Bloch theorem : representation in the Brillouin zone
Distinction between metal and insulator
Semiconductors
Intrinsic semiconductors
Usual semiconductors
Band structure of Si, Ge, GaAs
Optical properties
Effective mass - Holes
Carrier density
Doping
Introduction to nanotechnology
New devices - Future electronics
