Ensino de materiais semicondutores: uma proposta para o ensino médio

Abstract

Modern and Contemporary Physics has a great impact on people's daily lives, although their insertion in high school hardly happens. With this in mind, this work aimed to build a proposal to incorporate this content in this stage of education, more than that, the intention was to plan activities that students find interesting and realize the relationship of content with everyday life. The topics covered include: thermionic valves to show some applications of semiconductors of today by introducing a historical context, band theory at a level suitable for high school and available time, semiconductor doping and construction of a simple circuit that has a LDR. Bringing this content to high school while taking teachers a bit out of the comfort zone is not that complex, and it brings to students closer knowledge of current technological reality.
