Carrier Transport Phenomena
• The densities of the charged particles is important
towards understanding of the electrical properties of
semiconductor material
• The process by which these charged particles move
is called transport
• In this chapter, we will review of two basic transport
mechanism – drift and diffusion
• Drift: the movement of charge due to the electric
field
• Diffusion: the flow of charge due to density gradient
