Isolated atoms Condensed Phase Conduction Band Valence Band Available States No States available 1/R E Building a Semiconductor Valence band Conduction band Isolated impurities Fill up the states with electrons just like you fill up atomic or molecular states, fill from the lower energy up being careful to abide by Pauli. The material properties are dominated at by the highest energy states that are occupied. Localized states near impurities; These control the properties of the semiconductor

5. Impurities in Semiconductors “Electrons” in solids can behave as if they have a different mass and charge than free electrons. Why, the dynamics of the material are really determined by the “excitations” of the system (how it’s behaviour differs from the equilibrium state). E.G. for Donors in Si you might expect E=(  o /  ) 2 (m*/m o )E H For Si this works out to be about 25meV, and this is in reasonable agreement with the experimental results for shallow donors (even though we have left out a lot of details that account for differences between elements like P and As etc.

8. Key Properties of Materials Electrical Conductivity Hall Effect (balance of Lorentz and Electric forces within a wire carrying a current in a magnetic field). –Useful for measuring carrier concentration and type (electrons vs. holes) –Ubiquitous for measuring magnetic fields Thermo-electric Effects –Electrons carry both charge and energy, hence the two can be coupled. –Used widely for measuring temperature Piezoelectric effects (strain voltages) –Used in SPM’s, small sensors etc.

Types of Radiation Alpha (  ): 4He nucleus; very easy to stop (paper,etc.) Beta (  ) Electrons or positions, relatively easy to stop NOTE: you can also get high-energy electrons through “internal conversion” and the Auger process, but strictly speaking, these do not come from beta decay, and are therefore not, technically, “beta” particles (even though they behave exactly the same way). Gamma (  ) High-energy photons (of nuclear origin) X-rays High-energy photons (of atomic origin) Neutron (n) Protons, ions
