Arsenic or antimony Created by adding trivalent impurity Eg. Boron or Gallium
- 4. PN junction diode • Junction is formed between p type and n type is called pn junction. • It is called diode because it has two electrodes one for P region called anode and other is N type called cathode • P type- majority carriers - holes • N type- majority carriers -free electrons
- 5. Diffusion: Charge carrier is moving from high concentration area to low concentration area. Junction voltage or barrier voltage: Existence of immobile ions develops the potential difference across the junction under equilibrium condition. For germanium = 0.3 V & For silicon = 0.7 V
- 6. Operation of PN junction Forward bias: + to p and – to N External voltage applied is > than barrier potential and cancels the potential and permits current to flow.
- 7. Reverse bias: - to p and + to N External voltage is applied such that barrier potential increases and does not permits current to flow. Reverse Saturation Current: small amount of current flows through it due to minority carriers.
- 8. V-I Characteristics of PN junction Forward bias: • On varying voltage slowly, the barrier potential is eliminated and current starts flowing called threshold voltage or cut in voltage or knee voltage. • As forward voltage applied increases beyond threshold voltage, forward current increases exponentially.
- 9. Reverse bias: • Breakdown of junction occurs results sudden rise in reverse current. This current is called reverse saturation current. Applications of PN junction diode • Switches • Rectifiers • Power Supplies • Digital systems
- 10. Zener Diode • If p and n region is heavily doped, the breakdown voltage is reduced. • If doping is heavy, reverse voltage is low then electron can break from its bond.

- 25. 25 Transistor Biasing The basic function of transistor is amplification. The process of raising the strength of weak signal without any change in its general shape is referred as faithful amplification. For faithful amplification it is essential that:- 1. Emitter-Base junction is forward biased 2. Collector- Base junction is reversed biased 3. Proper zero signal collector current The proper flow of zero signal collector current and the maintenance of proper collector emitter voltage during the passage of signal is called transistor biasing.
- 26. 26 BIAS STABILITY Through proper biasing, a desired quiescent operating point of the transistor amplifier in the active region (linear region) of the characteristics is obtained. It is desired that once selected the operating point should remain stable. The maintenance of operating point stable is called Stabilisation. The selection of a proper quiescent point generally depends on the following factors: (a) The amplitude of the signal to be handled by the amplifier and distortion level in signal (b) The load to which the amplifier is to work for a corresponding supply voltage The operating point of a transistor amplifier shifts mainly with changes in temperature, since the transistor parameters — β, ICO and VBE (where the symbols carry their usual meaning)—are functions of temperature.
- 27. 27 The DC Operating Point For a transistor circuit to amplify it must be properly biased with dc voltages. The dc operating point between saturation and cutoff is called the Q-point. The goal is to set the Q-point such that that it does not go into saturation or cutoff when an a ac signal is applied.

- 30. 30 Summary • The Q-point is the best point for operation of a transistor for a given collector current. • The purpose of biasing is to establish a stable operating point (Q-point). • The linear region of a transistor is the region of operation within saturation and cutoff. • Out of all the biasing circuits, potential divider bias circuit provides highest stability to operating point.
