Introduction
Materials resistivities
How to explain
Bonding of Si atoms
A Covalent Bond Formed by the Sharing of
Electrons in an Outer Energy Level
Si and Ge are tetravalent elements – each atom of Si (Ge) has 4 valence electrons in
crystal matrix
T=0 all electrons are bound in
covalent bonds
no carriers available for conduction.
For T> 0 thermal fluctuations can
break electrons free creating
electron-hole pairs
Both can move throughout the lattice
and therefore conduct current.
Electrons and Holes
Extrinsic semiconductor
Formation of P type Extrinsic semiconductor
Formation of N type Extrinsic semiconductor
REVIEW
P-type and N-type
P-type: A P-type material is one in which holes are
majority carriers i.e. they are positively charged
materials (++++)
N-type: A N-type material is one in which electrons are
majority charge carriers i.e. they are negatively
charged materials (-----)
Apparatus Used

I-V Characteristics of Practical Diode
Result
The forward and reverse characteristics of
PN junction diode is presented the graph.
Precaution and source of error
1. Sensitive voltmeter and sensitive ammeter should be
used.
2. The direction about maximum plate voltage given by
manufacturer should be strictly followed.
3. The graphs should drawn smoothly.
4. There should not be any fluctuation on the power.
5. To avoid over heating of PN junction, current should not
passed for long time.
