The Altermatt Lecture Series, 2021
This lectures shows both graphically and mathematically why the band diagram is often a complete set of parameters to describe semiconductor devices.
You will understand the necessary potentials and their reference points in such a way that you can spontaneously imagine them later in your career.
How does band bending occur? And how do the different potentials enter into the semiconductor equations?
