The Altermatt Lecture Series, 2021

This lectures shows both graphically and mathematically why the band diagram is often a complete set of parameters to describe semiconductor devices. 
You will understand the necessary potentials and their reference points in such a way that you can spontaneously imagine them later in your career. 
How does band bending occur? And how do the different potentials enter into the semiconductor equations?
