Abstract: 

I will introduce the basic physics involved in semiconductors and
semiconductor interfaces. Topics will include quantum states of atoms
and solids, the Fermi-Dirac distribution and the Fermi energy, doped
semiconductors, the electrostatic potential, and ideal and non-ideal
semiconductor interfaces (heterojunctions).
