This self-paced eLearning module provides a foundational understanding of semiconductors—their nature, functionality, and the science that governs them. The course begins with an introduction to basic concepts and classifications of materials, followed by an in-depth exploration of semiconductor behavior. Key topics include doping and the formation of N-type and P-type semiconductors. The course includes a combination of written content, interactive information blocks, and knowledge checks to enhance engagement and reinforce learning. Completion of all sections is required to receive course credit.
