DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Semiconductor Materials History of Semiconductor Devices DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Semiconductor Materials Definition : Semiconductors are a special class of elements having a conductivity between that of a good conductor and that of an insulator DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Semiconductor Materials • Single crystal – Germanium (Ge) and Silicon (Si) • Compound Semiconductor – Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Cadmium Sulfide (CdS), Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Gallium Arsenide phosphide (GaAsP). • Mostly used : Ge, Si and GaAs DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Semiconductor Materials • Ge – First discovered. Used as Diode in 1939, transistor in 1947. Sensitive to changes in temperature – suffer reliability problem. • Si – Introduced in 1954 (as transistor), less sensitive to temperature. Abundant materials on earth. Over the time – its sensitive to issue of speed. • GaAs – in 1970 (transistor), 5x speed faster than Si. Problem – difficult to manufacture, expensive, had little design support at the early stage.

Electronegative elements: Readily acquire electrons to become - ions. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Semiconductors, Conductors, and Insulators Conductors material that easily conducts electrical current. The best conductors are single-element material (e.g copper,silver,gold,aluminum,ect.) One valence electron very loosely bound to the atom- free electron Insulators material does not conduct electric current valence electron are tightly bound to the atom – less free electron Semiconductors material between conductors and insulators in its ability to conduct electric current in its pure (intrinsic) state is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator most commonly use semiconductor- silicon(Si), germanium(Ge), and carbon(C). contains four valence electrons DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Covalent Bonding & Intrinsic Materials • Atom = electron + proton + neutron • Nucleus = neutrons + protons Protons (positive charge) Neutrons (uncharged) Electrons (negative charge) Nucleus (core of atom) ATOM DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Atomic Structure No. of electron in each shell Ne = 2(n)2 n = no of shell. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Covalent Bonding Covalent bonding of the Silicon atom Covalent bonding of the GaAs crystal DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Intrinsic Carriers Table 1.1 Intrinsic Carriers Semiconductor Intrinsic Carriers (per cubic centimeter) GaAs 1.7 x 106 Si 1.5 x 1010 Ge 2.5 x 1013 Intrinsic (pure) carriers – The free electrons in a material due to only external causes Ge has the highest number of carriers and GaAs has the lowest intrinsic carriers. The term intrinsic (pure) is applied to any semiconductor material that has carefully refined to reduce the number of impurities to a very low level – essentially as pure as can be made available through modern technology DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Relative Mobility Factor µn Table 1.2 Relative Mobility Factor Semiconductor µn (cm2/V-s) Si 1500 Ge 3900 GaAs 8500 Relative mobility – the ability of the free carriers to move throughout the material. GaAs has 5X the mobility of free carriers compared to Si, a factor that results in response times using GaAs electronic devices is 5X those of the same device made from Si. Ge has more than twice the mobility of electrons in Si, a factor that results in the continued of Ge in high-speed radio frequency applications. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Interesting difference between Semiconductors and Conductors • Conductors – Resistance increases with the increase in heat, because their vibration pattern about relatively fixed location makes it increasingly difficult for a sustained flow of carriers through the material – positive temperature coefficient. • Semiconductors – Exhibit an increased level of conductivity with the application of heat. As the temperature rises, an increasing number of valence electron absorb sufficient thermal energy to break the covalent bond and contribute to the number of free carriers – negative temperature effects DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Energy Levels Fig. 1.6 Energy levels: conduction and valence bands of an insulator, a semiconductor, and a conductor. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Extrinsic Materials : n-Type and PType Materials • The characteristics of a semiconductor material can be altered significantly by the addition of a specific purity atoms to relatively pure semiconductor materials – this process is known as doping process • A semiconductor that has been subjected to the doping process is called an extrinsic materials. • Extrinsic Materials are n-type material [five valence electrons (pentavalent)] and p-type material [three valence electrons atom (trivalent)] DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I n-Type Material • n-Type material is created by introducing the impurity (bendasing) elements that have five valence electrons (pentavalent). • There are antimony (Sb), Arsenic (As) and phosphorous (P). Diffused impurities with five valence electrons are called donor atoms Fig. 1.7 Antimony impurity in n-type material DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I n-Type Material • The effect of this doping cause the energy level (called the donor level) appears in the forbidden band with Eg significantly less than intrinsic material. • This cause less thermal energy to move free electron (due to added impurity) into conduction band at room temperature. Fig. 1.8 Effect of donor impurities on the energy band structure DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I n-Type Material • Pentavalent atoms is an n-type semiconductor (n stands for the negative charge on electrons). • The electrons are called the majority carrier in n-type materials. • In n-type material there are also a few holes that are created when electrons-holes pairs are thermally generated • Holes in n-type materials are called minority carrier DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I p-Type Material • Si or Ge doped with impurities atoms having three valence electrons. • Mostly used are boron (B), gallium (Ga) and indium (In). • The void (vacancy) is called ‘hole’ represented by small circle or a ‘+’ sign. Diffused impurities with three valence electrons are called acceptor atoms Fig. 1.9 Boron impurity in p-type material. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Electron versus Hole Flow • With sufficient kinetic energy to break its covalent bond, the electron will fills the void created by a hole, then a vacancy or hole, will be created in the covalent bond that released the electron. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I p-Type Materials • In p-type materials the hole is the majority carrier and the electron is the minority carrier. • Holes can be thought as +ve charges because the absence of electron leaves a net +ve charge on the atom. DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Semiconductor Diode Diode • Simple construction of electronic device, • it a joining between n-type and p-type material (joining one with majority carrier of electron to one with a majority carrier of holes) Diode @ No Applied Bias (VD=0) DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I DMT 121/3 : ELECTRONIC I Reverse Bias (VD < 0 V) Fig. 1.13 Reverse-biased p–n junction.
