Hot Electrons in Semiconductors: Physics and Devices (Series on Semiconductor Science and Technology, 5)

Hot Electrons in Semiconductors: Physics and Devices (Series on Semiconductor Science and Technology, 5) Under certain conditions electrons in a semiconductor become much hotter than the surrounding crystal lattice. When this happens, Ohm’s Law breaks down: current no longer increases linearly with voltage and may even decrease. Hot electrons have long been a challenging problem [...] Read more »

Semiconductors

Check us out at www.tutorvista.com A semiconductor is a material that has an electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, that is, generally in the range 103 siemens per centimeter to 10−8 S/cm. Devices made from semiconductor materials are the foundation of modern electronics, including radio, computers, telephones, and many other devices. [...] Read more »
