3. Semiconductor devices

Semiconductors are an amazing class of materials with tunable electrical conductivity. The advances in semiconductor technology are devoted to exploring these materials to convert them into carefully-designed functional devices with the targeted electrical and optical properties. The miniaturization of those devices becomes one of the main trends in the future semiconductor industry. In this context, building up nanoscale components is crucial. These tutorials focus on how to set and compute the outstanding physical-chemical properties of several semiconductors.
