EE 87024 - Wide Bandgap Device Physics

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Electrical Engineering

Description:

The class will cover the physics and device applications of wide-bandga semiconductors and their heterostructures (primarily III-V Nitrides, and SiC). The topics to be discussed are: Physics of bandstructure Origin of electronic polarization - spontaneous and piezoelectric Charge scattering and transport Optical properties of bulk and quantum heterostructures Implications of polarization on band diagrams, transport and optical properties Wide bandgap devices: Field Effect Transistors, Light Emitting Diodes, and LASERS Polarization-engineering in wide-bandgap electronic and optical devices
