Doping: adding of impurities (i.e., dopants) to the intrinsic semi-conductor material. N-type: adding Group V dopant (or donor) such as As, P, Sb,… P-type: adding Group III dopant (or acceptor) such as Al, B, Ga,…
There is no movement of charge through a pn-junction at equilibrium The pn-junction form a diode which allows current in only one direction and prevent the current in the other direction as determined by the bias.
dc voltage positive terminal connected to the p region and negative to the n region. It is the condition that permits current through the pn-junction of a diode.
dc voltage negative terminal connected to the p region and positive to the n region. Depletion region widens until its potential difference equals the bias voltage, majori ty-carrier current ceases.
majority-carrier current ceases. * However, there is still a very small current produced by minority carriers.
As reverse voltage reach certain value, avalanche occurs and generates large current
