In-depth Course

In Video 1, semiconductor researchers at the University of Sheffield introduce the pn diode, the simplest semiconductor device, and explain why it has a distinctive current-voltage curve. 

In Video 2, engineers at the University of Sheffield explore some of the optical semiconductor devices in optical communication systems, which we rely on every day. 

In Video 3, we showcase several types of electrical semiconductor devices, which can be found in smartphones, computers and almost everywhere else.  

Our daily lives and modern societies benefit from the improvement of semiconductor devices. In the last video, we explore advanced semiconductor devices such as DFB laser diodes and 3D transistors.
