This module covers semiconductor device physics with the emphasis on the "next generation" solar cells made of disordered semiconductors.
We interact with semiconductor devices hundreds of times a day as we connect with the world and with each other. The internet of things (IoT) is connecting more and more devices, creating smart networks for individuals, companies and communities. Semiconductor devices are at the heart of all new technology from smart devices, electric cars and 5G and are vital for the next generation of technologies. This module will discuss the latest device technology and the roadmap to even smaller devices. We will look at applications of these devices in photonics and communications, AI, Energy. The second part of the course will focus on applications of semiconductors and semiconductor technologies for energy generation and storage, transmission and distribution, transport and healthcare.
