Optoelectronic Devices

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Optoelectronic Devices
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - discuss with specialist, including the ones working in industry, about the physics of the most important optoelectronic devices; - make quantitative estimations of the relevant device properties; - design plausible optoelectronic device structures.
Omschrijving	The course aims to give a thorough physical explanation, starting from solid state physics concepts, of the functioning principles of the most industrially relevant optoelectronic devices. After a set of lectures aimed to build strong foundations, a set of specialists coming from industry (ASML, Hyett solar, Huawei, Photonis), will go deeper in some industrial relevant problematics. The course will be composed by the following sections: - Carrier transport in semiconductors - The p-n junction diode - Photon emission and absorption - Solar cells a thermodynamic approach - Light emitting diodes - Laser diodes - Displays - CCD cameras and photodetectors - Lithography as enabling tool
