This is the second course in an electronics series and takes semiconductors from first principles. It starts with the difference between conductors, semiconductors and insulators, then moves through energy band diagrams, the forbidden gap, intrinsic and extrinsic material, and the internal structure of the PN junction diode.
Students who have a grasp of current electricity and chemistry and want to understand what makes a diode work will get the most from it. It is also aimed at those heading toward VLSI or electronics engineering.
The prerequisites are stated plainly, so check them before starting.
