Learning outcomes
The discipline leads to forming of the knowledge of basic concepts of the operation of the devices of modern semiconductor electronics. The student should know: Correlation between Einstein coefficients and probabilities of forced and spontaneous radiation. Three-level and four-level scheme for creating inversion of populations of quantum levels. Types of laser resonators. A system of rate equations for inversion and photon concentration. The theoretical limit of the spectral width of laser radiation. Resonators for single-frequency generation and laser frequency tuning. Lasers with cavity Q-modulation. Lasers with mode synchronization. Generation of harmonics. Hall, Thomson, Peltier, Schottky effects. Volt-ampere characteristics of p-n junction, heterojunctions and metal-semiconductor contacts. Properties of the metal-dielectric-semiconductor structure. Principles of operation and structure of semiconductor lasers. Features of the energy zone diagram of superstructures.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
The course of “Quantum and Semiconductor Electronics” is connected with the disciplines “Integral Electronics”, “Microwave Electronics and Electrodynamics”, “Plasma Physics and Plasma Technologies”, “Microprocessors and Microcontrollers”. The course is a continuation of the cycle of applied physics courses. Knowledge of the classical sections of general physics, higher mathematics (mathematical analysis, differential equations).
Course content
In this course the main phenomena of semiconductor physics, which are basic for the operation of the devices of modern micro- and nanoelectronics, are examined from the unified point of view, together with the basements of classical semiconductor technologies. Knowledge in the field of applied physics is provided, covering: - the issue of amplification, generation and conversion of the frequency of electromagnetic oscillations and waves based on forced radiation and non-linear interaction of radiation with matter; - problems with the use of semiconductor electronics devices for transmission, processing and storage of information, automation of production processes, control and measuring equipment, means of scientific experiments.
