Diode Failure Modes and Causes: We would certainly like for solid-state components to be 100% reliable but this is unfortunately not true. All solid-state devices have a certain probability of…
Zero bias PN junction: Zero bias PN junction - Here we will examine the properties of the step junction in thermal equilibrium, where no currents exist and no external excitation…
Charge Neutrality Equation in Semiconductor: The semiconductor crystal is electrically neutral under thermal equilibrium conditions. The electrons are distributed among the different energy states, producing both negative and positive charges…
Fermi Level in Extrinsic Semiconductor: The equation for f(E) specifying the fraction of all states at energy E (electron volts) occupied under conditions of thermal equilibrium is called the Fermi-Dirac…
Carrier Concentration in Intrinsic Semiconductor: For determination of the conductivity of a semiconductor, it is essential to know the Carrier Concentration in Intrinsic Semiconductor of free electrons in conduction band…
Vacuum Triode, Construction and Working: Construction of Vacuum Triode - The construction and the schematic symbol used for a vacuum triode are illustrated in Fig. 5.8. It, as the name…
What is Vacuum Diode, Construction, Working and Applications: Construction of Vacuum Diode - Vacuum diode is the simplest form of the electron tube for the production and control of free…
Rutherford Nuclear Model of Atomic Structure: In order to explain many phenomena associated with conduction in gases, metals and semiconductors and the electron emission from a metal surface, it is…
