| Course description |
|
[Objective] Discipline for the investigation of new materials is the one of the most important areas of science, which sustains the development of high technology in our life. Also, it connects with the all the areas of engineering. In this lecture, we aim to understand the solid-state science, which is affected by the structural changes such as atomic state, molecular state and crystal structure, and by the changes of electronic states. Furthermore, in the latter part of lecture, we will study about the semiconductor physics/chemistry for understanding the new function of material by the introduction of quantum effects and so on. [Outline] In this lecture, the basic properties of semiconductors will be explained for understanding those properties from the viewpoint of chemical bond as a first step. At the same time, the manufacturing method and principles of "crystals" that exhibit the properties of semiconductors will be explained, and gain knowledge about science and technology of crystal growth that sustains the present electronics society. In the second half, the behavior of electrons and holes in the solid will be understood, and semiconductor devices using these properties and new semiconductor devices using the quantum effect will be described. |
| Expected Learning |
|
(1) Understand the physical properties of semiconductors from the viewpoint of chemical bonding. (2) Understand the techniques and principles of semiconductor crystal growth and explain the science and technology that supports the present semiconductor industry. (3) Understand how the behavior of electrons and holes in solid semiconductors is related to the operation of semiconductor devices. Please refer to the curriculum map in the course guide for the curriculum policy of this course. |
