      Electronics I Essentials - The Editors of REA

      Preparation

      CHAPTER 1

      FUNDAMENTALS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES

      1.1 CHARGED PARTICLES AND THE ENERGY GAP CONCEPT

      The electron:

      Negative charge = 1.60 × 10-19 coulomb

      Mass = 9.11 × 10-31kg

      Hole - In a semiconductor, two electrons are shared by each pair of ionic neighbors through a covalent bond. When an electron is missing from this bond, it leaves a hole in the bond, creating a positive charge of 1.6 × 10-19C.

      The energy gap concept and classification of materials

      (a) Energy levels

      (b) Energy gap

      (c) Semiconductor

      (d) Conductors

      Drift and the Dfffusion Current:

      The diffusion current - The movement of charged particles due to a non-uniform concentration gradient.

      The drift current - The movement of charges under the influence of an electric field.

      1.2 FIELD INTENSITY, POTENTIAL AND ENERGY

      Potential - The work done against an electric field in taking a unit of positive charge from point A to B.

      Electric field intensity E:

      Potential energy U (in joules) equals the potential multiplied by the charge q.

      Potential-energy barrier concept:

      The kinetic energy is at its maximum when the electron leaves electrode A.

      At P, no kinetic energy exists; the electron can therefore travel up to a distance x0 from plate A.

      The ev unit of energy: 1 ev = 1.60 × 10-19 J

      1.3 MOBILITY AND CONDUCTIVITY

      Mobility - When a metal is subjected to a constant E, a steady state is reached where the average value of the drift speed ν is attained. ν is proportional to E and is found by ν = μ E, where μ is the mobility of the electrons and where the electric field has small values.

      ρ ≡ n · q is the charge density; ν is the drift speed of the electrons.
