211372020 Drift Current and Difusion Curent and Their Differences EL-PRO-CUS What are Drift Current and Diffusion Curre Their Differences ELECTRON Ina semiconductor, the majority and minority charge carriers will exit in p-type or n-type. Becaus of semiconductors will present over a single crystal at the center so that PN-junction can be fo doping of this junction diode is done non-uniformly then charge carriers movement will be an « low concentration which leads to the recombination of carriers as well as to the diffusion proc additional method is also occurs based on the applied electric field namely drift current. This arti main differences between drift current and diffusion current. What are the Drift Current and Diffusion Current? Ina semiconductor material, the drift, as well as diffusion currents, will occur. Semiconductors ar two kinds of materials namely p-type as well as n-type. There are several kinds of switching dev the market like transistors, diodes, etc. These are designed by placing one material among other the material’s conducting property can be modified. What is a Drift Current? Drift current can be defined as the charge carrier’s moves in a semiconductor because of the ele are two kinds of charge carriers in a semiconductor like holes and electrons. Once the voltag: semiconductor, then electrons move toward the +Ve terminal of a battery whereas the holes trave terminal of a battery. lp:hwwzelprocus.comwha-aredri-current-and-tifusion-curentiher-fiferences/ 168 2sr2020 Df Current and Difusion Curent and The iferences Here, holes are positively charged carriers whereas the electrons are negatively charged carrier electrons attract by the +Ve terminal of a battery whereas the holes attract by the -Ve terminal of ¢ p-type hole diffusion electron diffusion uncovered Space charges drit-current-8-difusion-current What is Diffusion Current? The diffusion current can be defined as the flow of charge carriers within a semiconductor trave concentration region to a lower concentration region. A higher concentration region is nothin number of electrons present in the semiconductor. Similarly, a lower concentration region is number of electrons present in the semiconductor. The process of diffusion mainly occurs when is doped non-uniformly. In an N-type semiconductor, when it is doped non-uniformly then a higher concentration region « the left side whereas the lower concentration region can be formed at the right side. The electrc concentration region are more in the semiconductor so they will experience a repulsive force frorr Difference between Drift Current and Diffusion Currents htpsswwu elprocus comiwhat-are-drit-curent-and-ditusion-curenttheir-diferences! 26 211372020 Drift Current and Difusion Curent and Their Differences The difference between drift current and diffusion current includes the following. Drift Current Diffusion Current The movement of charge carriers is because of the The diffusion current can be occurred applied electric field is known as drift current. diffusion in charge carriers. It requires electrical energy for the process of drift Some amount of external energy is er current. process of diffusion current. This current obeys Ohm's Law. This current obeys Fick's Law. The direction of charge carriers in the semiconductor For charge carriers, the densities of di is reverse to each other. reverse in symbol to each other. The direction of the drift current, as well as the The direction of this current can be de electric field, will be the same. concentration of the carrier slope. It depends on the permittivity It is independent of permittivity The direction of this current mainly depends on the The direction of this current mainly de polarity of the applied electric field charge within the concentrations of ca lp:hwwzelprocus.comwha-aredri-current-and-tifusion-curentiher-fiferences/ 36 211372020 Drift Current and Difusion Curent and Their Differences FAQs 1). What is drift current in diode? The charge carriers start moving because of the applied electric field. 2). What is carrier drift? When an electric field is applied to a semiconductor, charges carriers start moving to generate ele 3). What is the drift voltage? The percentage of o/p voltage occurs over a period of time. 4). What does the diffusion coefficient mean? The amount of a substance that diffuses from one section to another through every unit of the each unit of time as the gradient of volume-concentration is unity. Thus, this is all about the difference between drift and diffusion current in a semiconductor. Wh done, then these currents will occur within the semiconductor.
