CSE 417T: Introduction to Machine Learning Lecture 15: Bagging

Today: 1. Examining the consequences of Fermi distribution in semiconductors. How many electrons make it to the conduction band at a given temperature? 2. Modeling bands as parabolas at the band edge. 3. Density of levels for the parabolic approximation for E vs. k. 4. Holes as charge carriers. 5. D.O.S. function in semiconductors (SC). 6. Number of carriers in thermal equilibrium. 7. Non-degenerate semiconductors. 8. Law of mass action. 9. Density of charge carriers in intrinsic semiconductors.
