INTRODUCTION TO SEMICONDUCTORS
CHAPTER 16 INTRODUCTION TO SEMICONDUCTORS
2
ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND SEMICONDUCTORS
The basic structure of semiconductors Silicon and Germanium Atoms
3
ATOMIC BONDING The atoms within the crystal structure are held together by covalent bonds This sharing of valence electrons produces the covalent bonds that hold the atoms together
4
CONDUCTION IN SEMICONDUCTORS
An energy band diagram for silicon crystal occurs only at a temperature of absolute 0 K
5
Comparison of Semiconductors to Conductors and Insulators
Pure semiconductive materials are neither insulators nor good conductors because current in a material depends directly on the number of free electrons
6
Resistivity (ohm-cm) Intrinsic (pure)
7
Conduction Electrons and Holes
An intrinsic (pure) silicon crystal at room temperature has sufficient heat energy for some valence electrons to jump the gap from the valence band into the conduction band, which become free electrons When an electron jumps to the conduction band, a vacancy is left in the valence band within the crystal, called a hole.
8
Creation of electron-hole
9
Electron-hole pairs Recombination occurs when a conduction-band electron loses energy and fall back into a hole in the valence band
10
Types of Current in Semiconductor
Electron Current Hole Current
11
Electron Current in intrinsic silicon
When a voltage is applied across a piece of silicon, the movement of free electrons is called electron current. The current which flow opposite with electron current is called hole current.
12
Hole current in intrinsic silicon
13
N-TYPE AND P-TYPE SEMICONDUCTORS
The conductivities of silicon and germanium can be increased and controlled by the addition of impurities to the intrinsic (pure) semiconductive material called doping The two categories of impurities are n-type and p-type
14
N-TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR To increase the number of conduction-band electron in intrinsic silicon, pentavalent impurity atom with five valence electrons (such as arsenic (As), phosphorus (P), and antimony (Sb) are added. n-type
15
Majority and Minority Carriers of N-type Semiconductor
The electrons are called the majority carries in n-type material ( the n stand for the negative charge on an electron) Holes which are not produced by the addition of the pentavalent impurity atoms are called minority carries
16
P-TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR p-type
Trivalent impurity atom (three valence electrons, such as aluminum (Al), Boron (B), and gallium (Ga)) are added to increase the number of holes in intrinsic silicon Atoms with three valence electrons are known acceptor atoms because they leave a hole in the semiconductor’s crystal structure p-type
17
Majority and Minority Carriers of P-type Semiconductor
The holes are the majority carries in p-type material The Electron in p-type material are the minority carries
18
Resistivity vs Concentration of Number of free electrons (Si)
19
THE PN JUNCTION The junction of silicon which it has doped on one half with a trivalent impurity and the other half with a pentavalent impurity is called the pn junction The pn junction is the feature that allows diodes , transistor, and other devices to work

1) Free e- จำนวนมากใน N เคลื่อนที่ไปมาอิสระ มีบางตัวเคลื่อนที่แพร่ ข้ามไปยังฝั่ง P 2) Free e-N รวมกับ holeP บริเวณขอบ Atom ของ P ได้รับ e- เกิน -> ประจุลบ Atom ของ N สูญเสีย e- -> ประจุบวก

3) เกิดการสะสมประจุบริเวณรอยต่อเกิดเป็นกำแพงความต่างศักย์ (Barrier Potential) : บริเวณรอยต่อที่มีการสะสมประจุ = Depletion region : ต้านการไหล (แพร่) ของ e- จาก N -> P 4) Depletion region จะขยายการสะสมประจุ ทำให้ กำแพงความต่างศักย์ (ความต่างศักย์ที่รอยต่อ)เพิ่มสูงขึ้น จะต้านการเคลื่อนที่ของ e- ทำให้ : จำนวน e- จาก N ข้ามไป P ลดน้อยลงเรื่อยๆ

VB 5) เข้าสู่ภาวะสมดุล (Equilibrium state) : หยุดการเคลื่อนที่ของ e- จาก N -> P : เงื่อนไข @ กำแพงความต่างศักย์ (VB: Barrier Potential) สูง จน ไม่มี e- จาก N มีพลังงานสูงพอที่จะเอาชนะ VB ที่รอยต่อ จึงไม่สามารถข้ามรอยต่อจาก N -> P ได้ VB (Si ) = 0.7 V; VB (Ge ) = 0.3 V @ Depletion region ขยายกว้าง
23
BIASING THE PN JUNCTION
Forward Bias Forward bias is the condition that permits current through a pn junction The negative terminal of the VBIAS source is connected to the n region, and the positive terminal is connected to the p region
24
The Effect of the Barrier Potential on Forward Bias
25
BIASING THE PN JUNCTION
Reverse Bias Reverse bias is the condition that prevents current through the pn junction Reverse current is a very small current produced by minority carries during reverse bias
26
Energy Diagram for Reverse Bias
When a pn junction is reverse-biased, the n-region conduction band remain at an energy level that prevents the free electrons from crossing into the p-region There are a few free minority electrons in the p-region conduction band that flow down the ‘energy hill’ into the n-region, and they combine with minority hole in the valence band
27
DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
Diode Characteristic Curve Forward bias As the forward voltage approaches the value of the barrier potential (0.7 V for silicon and 0.3 V for germanium), the current begins to increase
28
DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
Diode Characteristic Curve Reverse bias As the voltage (VR) increases to the left, the current remains near zero until the breakdown voltage (VBR) is reached When breakdown occurs, there is a large reverse current that can destroy the diode
29
Reverse Breakdown If the external reverse-bias voltage is increased to a large enough value, reverse breakdown occurs When one minority conduction-band electron goes toward the positive end of the pn junction, during its travel, it collides with an atom and imparts enough to knock a valence electron into the conduction band The rapid multiplication of conduction-band electrons, known as an avalanche effect
