Semiconductor Physics

• Basic knowledge of Physics, current electricity, and Chemistry
• Knowledge about semiconductors

Audience

• Electrical engineers
• Anyone interested in semiconductor

A semiconductor is a substance whose resistivity lies between the conductors and insulators. The property of resistivity is not the only one that decides a material as a semiconductor, but it has a few properties as follows. Semiconductors have a resistivity that is less than insulators and more than conductors.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at electrical engineers or anyone interested to have a more profound knowledge of semiconductors.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the concept of energy and conduction band diagrams.
• Understand the internal structure of diodes and how they work.
• Have an in-depth understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
