Hi,

I'm studying for a course in semiconductor devices, involving pn-diodes, schottky-diodes and mosfet transistors. Just wondering if there's any good online resource that demonstrates specifically how to draw energy band diagrams for the various devices in various situations (applied voltages, inversion, accumulation etc). How to draw the various energy levels and what they represent and so on. That would be helpful!

Thanks!
