Semiconductor Optoelectronics (Farhan Rana, Cornell University) Chapter 2 Semiconductor Heterostructures Introduction Most interesting Semiconductor devices usually have two or more different kinds of semiconductors . In this handout we will consider four different kinds of commonly encountered Heterostructures : a) pn heterojunction diode b) nn heterojunctions c) pp heterojunctions d) Quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots A pn Heterojunction Diode Consider a junction of a p-doped Semiconductor ( Semiconductor 1) with an n-doped Semiconductor ( Semiconductor 2).
Similarly, there are more holes in the region x 0 (where p ppo Na) than in the region x 0 (where d i no N n p p 2 2 ). Consequently, electrons will diffuse from the n-side into the p-side and holes will diffuse from the p-side into the n-side. Electrons on the n …
