BEEE UNIT IV - Lecture 3

The document discusses semiconductor devices including p-n junction diodes, rectifier circuits, Zener diodes, MOSFETs, and how p-n junctions are formed by joining n-type and p-type semiconductors. It explains the basic operating principles and current-voltage characteristics of p-n junction diodes and how they function under forward and reverse bias conditions.

P-N Junction

In the n-type region there are extra electrons and in


the p-type region, there are holes from the acceptor
impurities .
Forward Biased
Reverse Biased
P-N Junction

We create a p-n junction by joining together two


pieces of semiconductor, one doped n-type, the
other p-type.
