2) Each silicon atom forms a covalent bond with the other
silicon atom present in the neighboring areas.
3) At the room temperature there electrons are bounded to
each other.
4) But entered heat is applied, there electrons gain
sufficient energy and leaves its position and at that point of
time a valency of electrons is created which is known as
hole.
5) With the increasing temperature electron leaves its
position and gets for causing conductivity increased and
resistance decreases

20. N-Type Semiconductor
• N-Type Semiconductor are formed by adding a small
amount of pentavalent impurity to the pure silicon or
germanium
• The Pentavalent element is the one which has five valence
electrons
• Examples are Phosphorus, Antimony
• It is also known as Donor Impurity due to presence of extra
free electrons

22. N-Type Semiconductor
• Here we have used phosphorus atom to be added into a pure
silicon structure
• Group of 5 electrons contain one covalent bond and there will be
one free electron
• So the four electrons of phosphorus form four covalent bond
with its neighboring silicon atom but still a free electron is left
which is unbounded
• Further, when external heat is provided, electron leaves the
covalent bond, leaves its position vacant thereby causing a hole
• It increases the conductivity thereby creating a hole
23. P-Type Semiconductor
• P-Type Semiconductor are formed by adding a small
amount of trivalent impurity to the pure silicon or
germanium
• The materials having 3 valence electron per atom known as
trivalent materials
Trivalent – Elements having valency 3
• Ex. Boron, Gallium, Indium
25. P-Type Semiconductor
• As shown in the figure, when a boron atom is added to the
silicon atom, its 3 valence electrons will form covalent bond
with the valence electron of 3 neighboring silicon atom
• The fourth covalent bond remains incomplete as the boron atom
has only 3 valence electrons
• The resulting vacancy is called a Hole and it is represented by
a small circle (o)
• A hole is the positively charged as it represents the absence of a
negative charge
• This hole will make the semiconductor a P-type semiconductor

31. Formation of diffusion process
• In order to create p-n junction diode, we have to take one P-type and
one N-type semiconductor and joint it.
• The tendency of electrons is to move towards the positive side
• In P-type semiconductor majority charge carriers are holes and
electrons are the minority charge carriers
• In N-type semiconductor electrons are the majority charge carriers
and holes are the minority charge carriers
• The electrons will move towards the hole and diffuses itself while
the holes will move towards the electrons and diffuses itself. The
process is called diffusion process.

33. Formation of Depletion Layer
• The free electrons from N-side will defuse into the P-side and
recombine the holes present there.
• Each electron will leave behind a positive immobile ion into the N-
side and each hole will defuses into the N-side will leave behind a
negative immobile ion
• Due to this recombination process, a large no.of positive ions
accumulate near the junction on the n-side and a large no.of negative
immobile ions will accumulate on the p-side near the junction
• The negatively charged ions on the p-side will start repuling the
electrons and after some time the diffusion will stop completely
34. Formation of Depletion Layer
• The p-n junction is in the state of equilibrium
• The shaded region on both sides of the junction contains only
immobile ions and no free charge carriers such as electrons or holes
• These region is called as depletion region
• The width of the depletion region is 0.5-1 mm (micrometer)

37. Biasing of P-N Junction Diode
• When the P-N Junction is formed the depletion region gets
created and the movement of electrons and holes stops
• The current flowing through an unbiased p-n junction is 0.
• To make the current flow , we have to biase the p-n
junction diode
• Biasing is the process of applying external supply to the
semiconductor diode
• Types of Biasing –
1. Forward Biasing
2. Reversed Biasing
39. • If the P region is connected to the Positive terminal of the battery
and N region is connected to the Negative terminal of the battery,
then the Biasing is said to be Forward Biasing
• Due to the negative terminal of the battery connected to the N
region the free electrons from N side will move towards the P-side
• With increasing in the external voltage, more and more number of
holes and electrons starts travelling towards the junction
Forward Biasing
• The holes will start converting the negative ions into neutral atoms
and the electrons will convert the positive ions into neutral atoms
• As a result, the width of the depletion region will reduce
41. • If the P region is connected to the Negative terminal of the
battery and N region is connected to the Positive terminal of the
battery, then the Biasing is said to be Reverse Biasing
• The reverse current will flow from cathode to anode of the diode
• When the diode is reverse biased, the holes in the P region are
attracted towards the negative terminal of battery and electrons
on the N region are attracted towards the positive terminal of
battery
• Due to the movement of electrons and holes away from the
junction, width of the depletion region increases
Reverse Biasing

the negative terminal of the battery then the Zener diode
is said to be Reverse biased
49. Reverse Biasing in Zener Diode
• As we increase the reverse voltage initially a small amount of
current will flow.
• This current flows due to the thermally generated minority
carriers
• At a certain value of reverse voltage, the reverse current will
increase suddenly
• These breakdown voltage is called as Zener breakdown
voltage which is denoted by Vz
51. Rectifier
• Rectifier is an electronic device which is used for
converting AC Voltage/Current into DC Voltage/Current
220V AC – 5V DC
• The process of converting AC Voltage/Current into DC
Voltage or Current is called as Rectification

55. Half-Wave Rectifier
• In Half-wave Rectifier, the rectifier is ON only during one half
cycle of AC supply
• So the Output is produced only in that half cycle
• Figure shows a Half-wave Rectifier which is connected to the
step-down transformer RL is the Load Resistor
• In the positive half cycle (0-π) of the AC supply, the secondary
voltage VAB is positive that is A is positive with respect to B
• Hence the diode is forward bias and starts conducting
• As the diode starts conducting the secondary voltage VAB
appears across a load resistance
56. Half-Wave Rectifier
• In the negative half cycle (π-2π) of the AC supply, the
secondary voltage VAB is negative that is A is negative with
respect to B
• Hence, the diode is Reverse bias. The load is disconnected from
the battery
• Hence the load voltage and load current both are zero

58. Full-Wave Rectifier
• A full-wave rectifier is a Rectifier which requires two or four
diodes and it conducts for both half cycles
• A center tapped transformer consist of a step-down center
tapped transformer T1, 2 diodes and a load resistor RL
• Due to the center tapped secondary transformer, D1 is forward
biased and D2 is reversed biased
• The load current starts flowing from A to D1 then load resistor
RL back to the CT
• In the negative half cycle, of the AC supply, B is positive with
respect to A
59. Full-Wave Rectifier
• Here D1 is reverse biased and D2 is forward biased
• So D1 acts as an open circuited switch and D2 carries the entire
load current
• The direction of load current will be B-D2-C1-RL-CT
62. Bridge Rectifier
• Bridge Rectifier rectifies the complete or full wave form
• It consists of a Transformer(CT), four diode (D1, D2, D3, D4) and
Load Resistance RL
• Here V1 is the source voltage which is 230V, 50Hz
• V2 is the input voltage given to the Rectifier
64. Bridge Rectifier – Positive Half Cycle
• During the positive Half cycle of the AC supply, A is positive
with respect to B
• Here D1 and D3 are in forward biased and D2 and D4 are in
Reversed biased
• Here, Load current will flow from A-D1-RL-D3-CT
66. Bridge Rectifier – Negative Half Cycle
• During the positive Half cycle of the AC supply, B is positive
with respect to A
• Here D2 and D4 are in forward biased and D1 and D3 are in
Reversed biased
• Here, Load current will flow from B-D2-RL-D4-CT
68. Need of Filters
• Filter can be either construct by Capacitor or Inductor,
when the Rectifier has its highest value it charges itself
and when it has its value 0, Filter provides the output to
Load
• Filter is the electronic component used to remove the AC
component present in the rectifier output and allows the
DC component to reach load
