Semiconductor Physics

Semiconductor physics focuses on the properties and behaviours of materials that have electrical conductivity between that of conductors and insulators. These materials, such as silicon and gallium arsenide, are fundamental to modern electronics, forming the basis of devices like transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. The study of semiconductor physics involves understanding the movement of electrons and holes within these materials, the effects of doping, and the impact of external factors such as temperature and electric fields.
