Core diagrams for copper and silicon: One valence electron Four valence electrons Copper Silicon +1 +4 The nucleus plus the inner electron orbits

Silicon atoms in a crystal share electrons. Valence saturation: n = 8 Because the valence electrons are bound, a silicon crystal at room temperature is almost a perfect insulator.

Inside a silicon crystal Some free electrons and holes are created by thermal energy. Other free electrons and holes are recombining. Recombination varies from a few nanoseconds to several microseconds. Some free electrons and holes exist temporarily, awaiting recombination.

Silicon crystals are doped to provide permanent carriers. Free electron Hole (n type) (p type) Pentavalent dopant Trivalent dopant

This crystal has been doped with a pentavalent impurity. The free electrons in n type silicon support the flow of current.

This crystal has been doped with a trivalent impurity. The holes in p type silicon support the flow of current. Note that hole current is opposite in direction to electron current.

Semiconductors The most popular material is silicon. Pure crystals are intrinsic semiconductors. Doped crystals are extrinsic semiconductors. Crystals are doped to be n type or p type. An n type semiconductor will have a few minority carriers (holes). A p type semiconductor will have a few minority carriers (electrons).

P N Doping a crystal with both types of impurities forms a pn junction diode. Junction P N Negative ion Positive ion Some electrons will cross the junction and fill holes. A pair of ions is created each time this happens. As this ion charge builds up, it prevents further charge migration across the junction.

The pn barrier potential Electron diffusion creates ion pairs called dipoles. Each dipole has an associated electric field. The junction goes into equilibrium when the barrier potential prevents further diffusion. At 25 degrees C, the barrier potential for a silicon pn junction is about 0.7 volts.

P N Each electron that migrates across the junction and fills a hole effectively eliminates both as current carriers. P N Depletion layer This results in a region at the junction that is depleted of carriers and acts as an insulator.

Forward bias If the applied voltage is greater than The carriers move toward the junction and collapse the depletion layer. If the applied voltage is greater than the barrier potential, the diode conducts.

Reverse bias The depletion layer is reestablished The carriers move away from the junction. The depletion layer is reestablished and the diode is off.

Diode bias Silicon diodes turn on with a forward bias of approximately 0.7 volts. With reverse bias, the depletion layer grows wider and the diode is off. A small minority carrier current exists with reverse bias. The reverse flow due to thermal carriers is called the saturation current.

Diode breakdown Diodes cannot withstand extreme values of reverse bias. At high reverse bias, a carrier avalanche will result due to rapid motion of the minority carriers. Typical breakdown ratings range from 50 volts to 1 kV.

Energy levels Extra energy is needed to lift an electron into a higher orbit. Electrons farther from the nucleus have higher potential energy. When an electron falls to a lower orbit, it loses energy in the form of heat, light, and other radiation. LED’s are an example where some of the potential energy is converted to light.

The p side of a pn junction has trivalent atoms with a core charge of +3. This core attracts electrons less than a +5 core. Abrupt junction Conduction band Energy Valence band P-side N-side In an abrupt junction, the p side bands are at a slightly higher energy level. Real diodes have a gradual change from one material to the other. The abrupt junction is conceptual.

Energy bands after the depletion layer has formed Conduction band Energy Energy hill Valence band P-side N-side To an electron trying to diffuse across the junction, the path it must travel looks like an energy hill. It must receive the extra energy from an outside source.

Junction temperature The junction temperature is the temperature inside the diode, right at the pn junction. When a diode is conducting, its junction temperature is higher than the ambient. There is less barrier potential at elevated junction temperatures. The barrier potential decreases by 2 mV for each degree Celsius rise.

Reverse diode currents IS, the saturation current, doubles for each 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature. It is not proportional to reverse voltage. The surface of a crystal does not have complete covalent bonds. The holes that result produce a surface-leakage current that is directly proportional to reverse voltage.
