This module aims to introduce students to the internal operation of commonly used electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor devices, instead of treating them in a phenomenological fashion (i.e. as 'black boxes'). The module also seeks to illustrate how the device design and performance relates to the underlying materials and physical processes and how the demands of the targeted application affect the device design.

	LO1 - Demonstrate a good understanding of the operating principles and underlying physical processes used in electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor devices based upon pn junctions and metal-oxide semiconductor capacitors (e.g. diodes, LEDs, lase
	LO2 - Relate the performance limitations of semiconductor devices to the underlying physical processes and materials properties;
	LO3 - Demonstrate an appreciation of how the performance requirements of different applications influences the device design;
	LO4 - Demonstrate their confidence and ability to use physical analysis, based on logic and/or mathematics, to understand the behaviour and performance of semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices.
