2 Introduction In the following slides, we will discuss the summary of the Reading Assignment: the concepts of a large reverse-bias voltage that cause a Junction Breakdown, thezener Effect and the Avalanche Effect. 1. Junction Breakdown, Avalanche Breakdown, Tunneling Breakdown 2. Zener Diodes 3. Tunnel Diodes 4. Applications of Physical Electronics I: PN Junction Diodes. More discussion on these concepts in Chapter 12. Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,

8 Quantum Mechanical Tunneling Fig. 1 Quantum Mechanical Tunneling Tunneling probability: 2 ( 8 m P exp 2T ( V E ) 2 H h A tunnel diode or Esaki diode is a type of semiconductor that is capable of very fast operation, well into the microwave frequency region, made possible by the use of the quantum mechanical effect called tunneling. ) Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,
9 Tunnel Diode Under normal forward bias operation, as voltage begins to increase, electrons at first tunnel through the very narrow p n junction barrier because filled electron states in the conduction band on the n-side become aligned with empty valence band hole states on the p-side of the p-n junction. As voltage increases further these states become more misaligned and the current drops this is called negative resistance because current decreases with increasing voltage. As voltage increases yet further, the diode begins to operate as a normal diode. Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,
10 Tunnel Diode In the reverse direction, tunnel diodes are called back diodes (or backward diodes) andcan act as fast rectifiers with zero offset voltage and extreme linearity for power signals (they have an accurate square law characteristic in the reverse direction). Under reverse bias, filled states on the p-side become increasingly aligned with empty states on the n-side and electrons now tunnel through the PN junction barrier in reverse direction. Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,

14 Solar Cells Fig. 4: World Energy Consumption Solar Cells are also known as photovoltaic cells (PV). Convert sunlight to electricity with 10-30% conversion efficiency. 1 m 2 solar cell generate about 150 W peak or 25 W continuous power. Low cost and high efficiency are needed for wide deployment.

Compare Si and Ge. Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,
17 Output Power A particular operating point on the solar cell I-V curve maximizes the output power (I x V). Output Power I sc V oc FF Si solar cell with 15-20% efficiency dominates the market now Theoretically, the highest efficiency (~24%) can be obtained with 1.9eV >E g >1.2eV. Larger E g lead to too low I sc (low light absorption); smaller E g leads to too low Voc. Tandem solar cells gets 35% efficiency using large and small E g materials tailored to the short and long wavelength solar light. Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,
18 Light Emitting Diodes and Solid-State Lighting Light emitting diodes (LEDs) LEDs are made of compound semiconductors such as InP and GaN. Light is emitted when electron and hole undergo radiative recombination.

Stimulated emission: emitted photon has identical frequency and directionality as the stimulating photon; light wave is amplified. Tennessee Technological University Monday, October 28,
