- Historically development and overview of the state of the art
- Main applications in high energy particle physics (Atlas, CMS, double-beta decay searches)
- Intrinsic semiconductors: simple and composed
- Working principle of intrinsic semiconductors: charge creation and collection (valence and conduction band)
- Need to move to doped semiconductors: comparison between induced e-h pairs and thermal ones
- example of donors and acceptors, depleted region, capacitance and depleted voltage.
