2.3.2 Semiconductor properties in non-equilibrium

Course subject(s) Module 2 – Semiconductor Physics

Quasi-Fermi Levels

We continue our discussion of a semiconductor material that is illuminated, and therefore no longer in equilibirum. In this video we focus on the Fermi level.

Note that there is a mistake in the video at 6:03. The rearranged equation of the quasi-fermi level for electrons should have a plus sign instead of a minus sign: .
