Semiconductor material and devices including transistors, lasers and many other components on which relies computers, optical fibre telecommunication systems and CD, DVD readers are at the very heart of the technological revolutionof the secong half of the XXth century. The association of the laws of interaction at the atomic level, the latter being periodically fitted together in the form of crystals, give rise to new semiconductor materials with very diverse properties. During this course, the students will learn about the origin of these properties in order to establish the elementary laws that govern the functioning of electronic and optoelectronic components. The students will learn that physics at the atomic level corresponds to laws that can not be seen by the naked eye.
