Optoelectronic Materials and Devices

Optoelectronic Materials and Devices. Instructors: Prof. Deepak Gupta and Prof. Monica Katiyar, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This course is offered to introduce students to the Materials Science and Engineering basics as well as the applications in optoelectronics and semiconductor devices. The course is divided in four modules: First module introduces electronic structure of materials; Second module discusses electrical properties of metal, semiconductors and insulators; Third module discusses optical properties of materials; Fourth module introduces basic devices - p-n junctions, their application in solar cells and light emitting diodes, MOS devices, transistors.
