After a short time, an equilibrium is reached between the diffusion currents (also called recombination currents) and a second, opposing type of current. What causes these secondary currents?
A)The diffusion currents cause buildup of positive charge in the n-type material and negative charge in the p-type material. This makes an electric field. | |
B)The diffusion currents cause buildup of negative charge in the n-type material and positive charge in the p-type material. This makes an electric field. |
|
C) | Minority carriers diffuse from each material to the opposite material. |
D) |
An excess of holes builds up on the n-type side and causes a reverse diffusion; similarly electrons build up in the p-type material. |
After a short time, an equilibrium is reached between the diffusion currents (also called recombination currents)...
4. A p-type semiconductor has positive charge carriers but is electrically neutral. Similarly an n-type semiconductor has negative charge carriers but is electrically neutral. When they are put in contact (making a diode), statistical forces cause some of the charge carriers to migrate to the opposite semiconductor. The charge carriers move until an E-field is created to stop the migration. This E-field creates a depletion region near the junction where there are no charge carriers. If a forward voltage is...
1) Describe and explain drift current and diffusion current in a PN junction in thermal equilibrium. What causes each? In which directions are the electrons, holes, electron current, and hole current flowing for each effect? What is the net current? Assume the built-in E-Field points to the left. Use a diagram. Then describe what changes when an electric field is applied, positive side on the N terminal. Describe what happens when the magnitude of that field is reversed. 2) Describe...
When you join a p-type semiconductor with an n-type semiconductor to form a p-n junction, holes initially flow from the p-type material into the n-type material, and electrons flow in the opposite direction. Why? a) There is an electric field because of the positive charge in the p-type material and the negative charge in the n-type material. b)Each diffuses into the region where it is at lower concentration. c)The n-type material is at lower potential. d)The n-type material is at...

The depletion layer width for different junctions is given by the following equations: w = het w = jane te pare VO w = (1280XL) Intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon, n., is 9.65 x 10 cm 1) The expressions for minority carrier diffusion length and diffusion coefficients and thermal velocity are as follows (for n-and p-type materials). L. - (Dpt) La = (Dat)* Và = To 1/NA in p-type material 1 - 1/(RexNA), where Re is the recombination...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...

What an Executive Summary Is
An executive summary is a specific type of document that does
two things: it summarizes a research article, and it offers
recommendations as to how information from the article can be
used.
Some long reports can contain an executive summary section, as
indicated in the Pearson handbook.
Write a 2 pahe Executive Summary
In business contexts, an executive summary is always written
for a specific purpose: to explain the information in the article
