What is Semiconductor? EC6201- ELECTRONIC DEVICES 2 MARKS QUESTIONS UNIT-I SEMICONDUCTOR DIODE The materials, whose electrical properties lie between those of conductors and insulators are known as Semiconductor. 2. What is energy level diagram? The each orbit has fixed amount of energy associated with energy levels. The electrons moving in a particular orbit possess the energy of the orbit. The convenient way of representing the energy of different orbit. It is known as Energy Level Diagram. 3. What are the classification of Semiconductors? The Semiconductors are classified into two types, i) Intrinsic Semiconductor ii) Extrinsic Semiconductor 4. What is doping? Doping. The process of adding impurity atoms to the intrinsic Semiconductor is called 5. What are the classification of Extrinsic Semiconductor? Extrinsic Semiconductors are classified into two types, i. N - type Semiconductor, ii. P - type Semiconductor. 6. What is N - type Semiconductor? A small amount of pentavalent impurity is added to a pure semiconductor is known as N - type Semiconductor.

2 7. What is P - type Semiconductor? A small amount of trivalent impurities is added to a pure Semiconductor is known as P - type Semiconductor. 8. Define Mass Action Law? The product of the number of holes and the number of electrons is constant and is independent of the amount of donor and accepts impurity doping under thermal equilibrium. This relation is known as Mass Action Law. Where, n. p = n i 2 n = Free electron Concentration. p = hole Concentration. n i = Intrinsic Concentration. 9. Define Drift Current? When an electric field is applied across the semiconductor material, the charge carriers attain drift velocity v d, which is equal to the product of the mobility of the charge carriers and the applied electric field intensity E. The holes moves towards the negative terminal of the battery and the electrons move towards the positive terminal of the battery. This combined effect of the movement of the charge carriers constitutes a current known as Drift Current. 10. Define Diffusion Current? An electric current can flow in a Semiconductor even in the absence of the applied voltage provided a concentration gradient exists in the material. A concentration gradient is said to exist if the number of either electrons or holes is greater in one region of the semiconductor as compared to the rest of the region. I a semiconductor material, the charge carriers have the tendency to move from the region of higher concentration to that of lower concentration of the same type of charge carriers. This movement of charge carriers takes places resulting in a current called Diffusion Current. 11. Write down the Einstein relationship equation? The equation which relates mobility µ and diffusion coefficient D is called Einstein relationship. (D p / µ p ) = (D n / µ n ) = V T = (T / 11,600) Where, K = Boltzmann's constant.

3 T = Temperature in o K. q = Magnitude of electric charge. D p = Diffusion coefficient for P type material. µ p = Mobility for P type material. 12. Define diffusion length The average distance that a charge carrier can diffuse during its lifetime is called Diffusion length L. L = D τ Where, τ is called Carrier Life Time. 13. Define Carrier Life Time The time for which, on an average, a charge carriers will exist before recombination with a carrier of opposite charge is called Carrier Life Time. 14. Define P - N junction When a P - type Semiconductor is joined to a N - type Semiconductor the contact surface is called PN junction or PN diode. 15. Write down the diode current equation? The Diode current equation relating the voltage V and current I is given by I = I 0 [e (V / ηv T ) - 1) 16. What is Dynamic Resistance? The Dynamic Resistance of a diode is defined as the reciprocal of the slope of the current - voltage characteristics. It is given by, r = Change in voltage / Resulting change in current r = ( V) / ( I) 17. What is Reverse resistance? The reverse resistance offered by the PN junction diode under reverse bias condition. It is very large compared to the forward resistance. Reverse resistance is in the

4 range of MΩ. 18. Define Transition Capacitance? An applied reverse bias causes the majority carriers to move away from the junction, thereby uncovering the immobile charges. As this reverse voltage is increased, the thickness of the space - charge region at the junction increases. This further increases the number of uncovered charge and result in capacitive effects. This effect is defined by an incremental capacitance, C T, given by. This capacitance which is due depletion layer is known as Depletion Capacitance (or) Transition Capacitance can be expressed as, C T = dq / dv 19. Define Diffusion Capacitance? The diode is biased in the forward direction, the potential barrier at the junction is lowered and diffusion of charge carriers take place. Hence the electrons which enter the p - side from n- side and holes which enter the n - side from the p - side constitute minority carriers and this process is called Minority carrier injection. Hence, we introduce an incremental capacitance which is defined as the rate of charge of injected charge with applied voltage. This capacitance is called Diffusion (or) Storage Capacitance C D. 20. What are the PN diode applications? Rectifiers in d.c power supplier. Clamping circuits used as d.c restorer in TV receivers and voltage multipliers. PN diode in demodulation (detector) circuits.

In order to operate transistor properly as an amplifier, it is necessary to correctly bias the two pn junction with external voltages. 24. What are the types of transistor configuration?

Define turn - on time (t on ) The turn - on time t on is the addition of t r and t d. t on = t r + t d 34. Define Storage time (t s ) The time taken for the current to rise from 10% to 90% of I CS is called Rise time (t r ). Therefore, total turn - on time t on = t d +t r. Thereafter, the current increases and remains a constant a maximum value of i c (i.e) I CS. The input waveform now returns to its initial state at t = T, but the current i c fails to respond immediately. The interval which elapses between the transition of the input waveform and the time when i c has dropped to 90% of I CS is called Storage time (t s ). 35.
