In this module, you will learn about the simplest semiconductor device, a Schottky diode, which consists of a metal-semiconductor junction. You will apply the drift-diffusion model, solving Gauss' law ...

The diode operation results from the interaction ... called the charge depletion zone, and generates an electric field at the interface that ultimately stops this flow of charges.

In this module on metal-semiconductor contacts, we will cover the following topics: Device structure, Equilibrium energy band diagram, Electrostatic analysis, Energy band diagram under bias, ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) give off light and are often used for indicator lights in electrical equipment such as computers and television sets. You should be able to recognise the graph of ...
