23.5 Semiconductor Devices
Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widelyused in modern electronics.“Technology has clearly revolutionized society, but solid-state electronics is revolutionizing technology itself”.

The Electron volt
Small particles use small amounts of energy.
The electron volt (eV) is the magnitude of the amount of energy it take for one electron to move through a potential difference of one volt.
1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 Joules

Semiconductors•Silicon is the most common material used as a semiconductor (germanium is also used). •It has 4 valence electrons and forms a stable lattice structure.•All electrons are used in the bonding process. None are free to move through the lattice structure, therefore pure Si is a poor conductor.
![Page 5: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Band Gap • The band gap (EG) is the minimum amount of energy
required for an electron to break free of its bound state.• When the band gap energy is met, the electron is excited
into a free state, and can therefore participate in conduction
• The band gap determines how much energy is needed from the sun for conduction, as well as how much energy is generated.
• A hole is created where the electron was formerly bound. This hole also participates in conduction.
• The band gap energy of Si is 1.1 eV• http://pveducation.org/pvcdrom/pn-junction/band-gap

23.5 Semiconductor Devices
SEMICONDUCTORS
The semiconducting materials (silicon and germanium) used to make diodes and transistors are doped by adding small amounts of an impurity element.

•Small amounts of a material with 5 valence electrons added to the silicon (e.g phosphorus). •Extra electron is a mobile negative charge carrier which increases overall conductivity. •The n-type semiconductor is electrically neutral. The doping process increased conductivity only.

•Small amounts of a material with 3 valence electrons are added to the silicon (e.g boron). •Extra “electron hole” is a mobile positive charge carrier which increases overall conductivity. •Note that the p-type semiconductor is electrically neutral, just like the n-type material.

23.5 Semiconductor Devices
What do you get when you put an p-type and an n-type semiconductor together?
overall neutral, but with moving, positive holes
overall neutral, but with moving, negative electrons
![Page 12: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Mobile electrons from the blue, n-type material move left to fill the holes in the pink p-type material ( left, in Fig a). One may think of the square electron holes as moving right.•The layer at the end of p-type material becomes negative and vice versa. This results in an electric field, pointing from n-type material to p-type material (Fig b).•The resulting structure is called a diode.•No current flows because the diode is electrically neutral.
You get a p-n junction, of course!

Connect a voltage source with a diode.
![Page 15: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A solar cell is a diode.•Photons in sunlight hit the solar panel.•The energy ionizes atoms in the charge layers. •Electrons are ejected from their atoms, allowing them to flow through the material to produce electricity. •Due to the composition of solar cells, the electrons are only allowed to move in a single direction. As a result, the solar cell develops a positive and negative terminal, much like a battery.
![Page 16: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A solar cell is a diode.When the energy of a photon is equal to or greater than the band gap of the material, the photon is absorbed by the material and excites an electron into the conduction band.Both a minority and majority carrier (i.e electron and hole) are generated when a photon is absorbed.The generation of charge carriers by photons is the basis of the photovoltaic production of energy.

Light-generated current
Two key processes:1.Absorption of a photon with energy greater than EG creates an electron-hole pair. However, If this pair recombines, then there will be no current.
![Page 18: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Light-generated current (cont’d)
2. Separation of carriers at the p-n junction due to the electric field. If the light-generated minority reaches the p-n junction, it is swept across the junction by the electric field at the junction, where it is now a majority carrier. The majority carrier is prevented from crossing the pn junction so travels through the external circuit to recombine.

24.1 The Nature of Electromagnetic Waves
This picture shows an electromagnetic wave, such as a light wave, or radio wave.An EM wave is a transverse wave that does not need a medium, e.g. air, or water, to propagate.
• In 1865, long before experimental evidence, the English physicist Maxwell correctly predicted that, in a vacuum:

ε0 = 8.85 x 10-12 C2/(N m2
μ0 = 4π x 10-7 T m/A.

24.3 The Speed of Light
•The American physicist Albert Michaelson improved on attempts to measure the speed of light.•By placing his mirrors on top of 2 Southern California mountains, he obtained a value of c that was less than 0.0014% different that the currently accepted value.•He definitely got a A on that lab.

The Crab Nebula is a remnant of a star that underwent a supernova. This event was recorded in the year 1054 A.D (see Anasazi pictograph, below). The Crab Nebula is located at a distance of 6.0 x 1016 km away from the earth. How long ago did the supernova happen?

24.4 The Energy Carried by Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves, such as the microwaves shown below, carry energy, much like sound waves
![Page 28: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
EM/Solar Radiation• Radiation is the heat-
transfer mechanism by which solar energy reaches our planet.
• Energy transferred by radiation is called electromagnetic radiation and can travel through a vacuum. This radiation is NOT radioactive!
• All radiation travels at the speed of light in a vacuum.
![Page 29: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
When radiation strikes an object• Transmission (no change in direction or temperature)• Scattering and Reflection (transmission in another
direction)• Absorption, which is accompanied by change of
temperature for object absorbing the radiation.
![Page 30: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Solar Radiation in the Atmosphere
![Page 31: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reflection and Albedo• Reflection–electromagnetic radiation bouncing of
from a surface without absorption or emission, no change in material or energy wavelength
• Albedo – proportional reflectance of a surface– a perfect mirror has an albedo of 100%– Glaciers & snowfields approach 80-90%– Clouds – 50-55%– Pavement and some buildings – only 10-15%– Ocean only 5%! Water absorbs energy.
![Page 32: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Typical Albedos of Materials on the Earth
![Page 33: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Absorption and Emission
• Absorption of radiation – electrons of absorbing material are “excited” by increase in energy – Increase in temperature; physical/chemical change– Examples: sunburn, cancer
• Emission of radiation – excited electrons return to original state; radiation emitted as light or heat– Example: earth absorbs short wave radiation from
sun (i.e. visible light) and emits longwave (infrared or heat) into the atmosphere.
![Page 34: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Laws Governing Radiation
1. All objects at a temperature greater than 0 K emit radiant energy. This includes the Earth, and its polar ice caps.
2. For a given size, hot object emit more energy than cold objects (Stefan-Boltzmann Law)
![Page 35: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Laws Governing Radiation
3. The hotter the radiating body, the shorter the maximum wavelength (Wien’s Law).
The Sun is a very hot body. Although it radiates in all parts of the spectrum, much of its radiation is short-wave radiation. The much cooler Earth radiates in longer wavelengths called (!) long-wave radiation .
![Page 36: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Note the distinction between short-wave and long-wave radiation.

EM radiation from Sun and Earth
![Page 38: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Laws Governing Radiation
4. Objects that are good absorbers of radiation are good emitters as well (Kirchoff’s Law). The Earth and the Sun absorb and radiate with nearly 100% efficiency for their respective temperatures
5. The gases of the atmosphere not so much. They absorb some wavelengths and then re-emit them. They let other wavelengths pass through with no absorption.
![Page 39: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

The Greenhouse Effect• Sun emits EM radiation of all wavelengths, but
primarily shortwave (i.e. visible).– Earth’s surface absorbs this energy– Most is re-emitted upward, as IR (longwave) – “greenhouse gases” (water vapor, carbon dioxide,
methane, etc.) let shortwave energy pass, but absorb longwave energy radiated upward by the Earth.
– this longwave energy is re-radiated in all directions, some of it returning to the Earth’s surface. This is what keeps our atmosphere at a livable temperature of about 15 degrees C (59 degrees F).
![Page 41: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

the Radiation Balance
• Sun emits EM radiation of all wavelengths, but primarily shortwave (i.e. light).– Earth’s surface absorbs this energy– Most is re-emitted, as heat (longwave)
• Greenhouse Effect – “greenhouse gases” let shortwave energy
(light) pass through, but absorb and emit longwave energy radiated by the Earth, keeping it the atmosphere

• Most solar energy is in the form of shortwave radiation (e.g. light, uv rays)
• Earth absorbs this energy and re-emits as longwave radiation (infra-red, “heat”)
• Greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 H2O) in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation
• This natural process allows the Earth to maintain an average yearly temperature of about 150 C (600 F).

EM Wave Intensity
•Intensity – defined previously for sound waves as power to area ratio: Intensity = P/A.•Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of the wave.•Recall power is the amount of energy transported per second.
![Page 49: Semiconductors and Electromagnetic Waves. 23.5 Semiconductor Devices Semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors are widely used in modern electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56649e295503460f94b16b17/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
24.5 The Doppler Effect and Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves also can exhibit a Dopper effect, but itdiffers for two reasons:
a) Sound waves require a medium, whereas electromagneticwaves do not.
b) For sound, it is the motion relative to the medium that is important. For electromagnetic waves, only the relative motion of the sourceand observer is important.
c) use plus if observer and source are moving together, minus if they are moving apart.
d) vrel is a magnitude and therefore always positive.

24.5 The Doppler Effect and Electromagnetic Waves
Example 6 Radar Guns and Speed Traps
The radar gun of a police car emits an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 8.0x109Hz. The approach is essentially head on. Thewave from the gun reflects from the speeding car and returns to thepolice car, where on-board equipment measures its frequency to begreater than the emitted wave by 2100 Hz. Find the speed ofthe car with respect to the highway. The police car is stationary.

Doppler weather radar uses the Doppler shift of reflected radar signals to measure wind speeds and gauge the severity of a storm.
This picture is off the coast of Florida.

Red shifts and blue shifts: The Big Bang
For light coming from astronomical objects, this Doppler equation is no longer correct, but it is still true that the light coming from an object moving closer has a higher frequency, while the light coming from a receding object has a lower frequency.
We say light has been “blue-shifted” for an object moving closer, and “red-shifted” for an object moving away.

Red shifts and blue shifts: The Big Bang
The light coming from the stars and galaxies around us is red-shifted, leading to our present belief that the galaxy is expanding.
Extrapolating back in time brings us to a point when the universe was contained in a volumeless point that “exploded”, aka The Big Bang.

There is an appreciable current through the diode when the diode is forward biased.
Under a reverse bias, there is almost no current through the diode.

23.5 Semiconductor Devices
•The graph shows dependence of current on magnitude and polarity of voltage applied across an ideal p-n junction.•the arrow/bar is the symbol for diode (arrow shows the direction the diode allows conventional current to flow).•Reverse bias- regardless of how much voltage applied, no current flows.•Forward bias – after some “threshold” voltage applied (here slightly more than 0.5 volts), current rises at an exponential rate.

23.5 Semiconductor Devices
•A more realistic graph for a silicon diode. •When reverse-biased, a real diode lets in a very small amount of current. •If you apply enough reverse voltage (V), the junction breaks down and lets current through (shown at far-left unlikely in normal circumstances). •When forward-biased, the threshold voltage for silicon is about 0.7 volts. •A diode is a non-ohmic device; it does not obey Ohm’s Law.•If you apply more more voltage (bigger battery), the current through the diode will increase, but the voltage drop will always remain at the threshold value.
