Unit 1:
Introduction to Semiconductor

Lesson 1: Classification of Materials:

1. Conductor – a substance, body on materials w/c has more electrons that


are free to move (free electrons).
- w/c is a good conduction of electricity.
- w/c has a very low electrical resistance.
- w/c usually has one valence electron.

Example: metals (such as silver, copper, gold etc.) electrolytes and ionized
gases.

2. Insulator – a substance, body on materials w/c has characteristics that is


extremely opposite to that of a conductor w/c more than 4 valence
electrons but ideally it has 8 valence electrons.

Example: glass, mica, and hard rubber.

3. Semiconductor – a substance, body on materials that has a characteristics


in between a conductor and insulator.
- w/ four valence electrons.

Example:

1.) Elementary Semiconductor (IV A)


a. Silicon (Si)
b. Germanium (Ge)

2.) Compound Semiconductor (III A)


a. Gallium Arsenide (Ga As)
b. Aluminium Arsenide (Al As)
c. Gallium Phosphide (Ga P)

Composition/ Elementary Particles:

Particles Mass at test (kg) Charge Coulomb

Electron 9.1096 X 10 -23 - 1.6020 X 10-19


Proton 1.6726 X 10 -27 1.6020 X 10-19

Important Terms:

1.) Atomic Mass or Weight ( A ) – approximately the sum of the number of


protons and neutrons of an atom.

2.) Atomic Number ( Z ) – the number of protons in the nucleus on the number
of electrons in an atom.

3.) Valence Electrons – electrons at the valence shell.

4.) Valence Shell – the outermost shell.

5.) Valence Band – the highest energy band of an atom w/c can be filled w/
electrons.

6.) Conduction Band – energy band in w/c electrons can move freely.

Energy gap – the energy different between the conduction band and the
valence band. It is the energy required to move or transfer a valence
electron at the valence band to the conduction band.

Lesson 2: Atomic Structure Of Semiconductor:

Bonding Of atoms:

1. Ionic Bonds or Electrovalent Bonds – results from attractive forces between


positive and negative ions or between pairs of oppositely charges ion.

2. Metallic Bonds – attractive forces results from a group of positive ions and
electrons w/ are free to move about among its ions.

Covalent Bonds – (attractive forces) occurs when atoms shares two or more
electrons.

Covalent Bonding of Semiconductor:

Si Si Si

“THE COUNTRY’S 1 POLYTECHNICU”
st
At 0 k absolute zero ( -273 ˚ C ) there are no free electrons in
semiconductor they locked at the valence bond however, at room temperature
( 300 K ) valence electrons can acquire sufficient energy and become free as
they move to the conduction band.

Intrinsic Carrier – free electrons in a material due only to natural causes,


example due to the increase in temperature.
- At room temperature, there are approximately 1.5X10 10
of free electrons in a cubic centimetre for intrinsic silicon
and 2.5X10 13 for Germanium materials.

Silicon Crystals – arrangement of silicon atoms to form a solid such that they
are now 8 electrons in the valence shell.

Ambient temperature – is the temperature of the surrounding air ( usually 27˚


or 25˚ C or 300 or 298 K )

Free Electron – the released electron dislodged from its original shell due to
increase in temperature w/c joins into a larger or bit.

Hole – refer to the vacancy left by free electrons when it departs from its original
shell.

Recombination – the merging of a free electrons and a hole inside a silicon


crystal.

lifetime – the amount of time between the creation and disappearance of a free
electron.

Lesson 3: DOPING PROCESS

Doping Process – adding a pentavalent or trivalent impurities to an intrinsic


materials.

Two Types Of Impurities:

1.) Pentavalent Impurities – w/ five valence electrons ( donor atom ) such as


Antimony ( Sb ), Arsenic ( As ), Phosphorus ( P ).

2.) Trivalent Impurities – w/ 3 valence electrons ( acceptor atom ) such as Boron


( B ), Gallium ( Ga ), Indium ( In ).

Two Types of Semiconductor:

1.) Intrinsic Semiconductor


- a pure conductor
- every atom in the crystal is a silicon atom.

4
“THE COUNTRY’S 1 POLYTECHNICU”
st
2.) Extrinsic Semiconductor
- a doped semiconductor
-result of adding an impurity atom to an intrinsic crystal to alter increase
it electrical conductivity.

Extrinsic Semiconductor can be

a.) N type – produced when a pentavalent atoms are added to the molten silicon
producing an excess of electrons.

b.) P type – produced when a trivalent atom are added to the molten silicon
produces an excess of holes.

Si / Ge Semiconductor:

Some reasons why Si & Ge are mostly used:

1. Can be manufactured to a very high purity level.


2. Has the ability to change electrical characteristics from poor conductor to a
good conductor.

Si vs. Ge:

1. Si diode has higher PIV and currently rating and wider temperature rather
than Ge.
2. Si has forward-bias voltage required to reach conductor.

---------------------------- -----

Few thoughts to keep in mind as you work towards a network:

1.) Make a mental sketch of the response of the network based on the
direction of the diode and the applied voltage levels.
2.) Determine applied voltage ( transition voltage ) that will cause a charge
in state for the diode.
3.) Be continually aware of the defined terminals and polarity of V O.
4.) It can be helpful to sketch the input signal above the output and
determine the output instantaneous values of the input.

Clamper:

Steps in analyzing a clamping network:

1.) Start the analysis of clamping network by considering the part of the
input that will forward bias the diode.
2.) During the period that the diode is in the “on” state, assume that the
capacitor will charge up instantaneously to a voltage level determined by
the network.
3.) Assume that during the period when the diode is in the “off ” state the
capacitor will hold on to its established voltage level.
4.) Throughout the analysis maintain a continual awareness of the location
and polarity for VO to ensure that the proper levels for VO are obtained.
5.) Keep in mind the general rule that the total swing of the total voltage
must matched the swing of the input signal.

Unit 7:
FET Transistor Fundamentals

Field Effect Transistor:

FET
• Field Effect Transistor
• Unipolar device
• Three terminal device containing one basic PN junction.

The FET’s terminals are:


1. gate – equivalent to the base of the transistor.
2. drain – equivalent to the collector terminal of the transistor.
3. source – equivalent to the emitter of the transistor.

2 Types
1. J FET ----------- junction FET
2. MOSFET ------- Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET
a. Depletion Mosfet
b. Enhancement Mosfet

General Comparisons between FET and BJT:


1. The FET has extremely high input resistance with about 100 M ohms
typical ( BJT input resistance typically 2 K ohms ).
2. The FET has no offset value when used as a switch.
3. The FET is relatively immune to radiation, but the BJT is very sensitive.
4. The FET is less noisy than BJT.
5. The FET can be operated to provide greater thermal stability than BJT.
6. FET is smaller than BJT.
7. FET has smaller gain bandwidth than BJT.
8. FET has greater susceptibility to damage in handling the FET.

Basic Operation of JFET:

The supply voltage , VDD , provides a voltage across drain source , VDS , which
results in current ID , from drain to source ( electrons in an n channel actually
move from the source ). This drain current passes through the channel
surrounded by the p type gate. A voltage between gate and source, VGS , is to
be set by a voltage supply, VGG. Since the polarity of this gate – source voltage
will reverse bias the gate – source junction, no gate current will result. The effect
of the gate – source voltage will be to create a depletion region in the channel
and thereby reduce the channel which to increase the drain – source resistance
resulting in less drain current.

MOSFET
• Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET
• Gate terminal insulated from the channel

Depletion MOSFET
• channel is physically constructed and current between drain and source
will result if a voltage is connected across the drain source.

Enhancement MOSFET
• no channel is formed when the device is constructed. A voltage must be
applied to the gate to develop a channel so that a current results when
a voltage is applied across the drain – source terminal.

Unit 10:
FET Transistor Amplification
FET Small Signal Analysis
- The gate to source voltage controls the drain to source (channel)
current of an FET.
- The change in drain current that will result from the change in gate-
to-source voltage can be determined using the trans-conductance
factor Gm in the following manner:
ID = gmVGS
- The word “trans” reveals that it established relationship between the
output and input quantity.
- The root word “conductance” is determined by a voltage to current
