Overview
This Electrical Properties and Semiconductors course is offered by Coursera in partnership with Arizona State University. In this course, we will explore the electrical properties of materials and classify different materials as conductors, semiconductors or insulators. We will look at some examples of conductors, semiconductors and insulators, and note the key factors that cause the differences in their electrical properties.
We will use rudimentary band theory to show how temperature impacts the conductivity of the three classifications of materials. We will learn what causes the differences in electrical behavior of a p-type versus an n-type semiconductor in a p-n diode.
What you'll learn
- Electrical properties of materials and, how/why semiconductors, insulators, and conductors are classified.
