Intrinsic semiconductorA semiconductor in an extremely pure form is know as an
intrinsic semiconductor.In an intrinsic semiconductor, even at room temperature
,hole-electron pair are created. When electric field is applied across
an intrinsic semiconductor , the current conduction takes place by
two process, namely; by free electron and hole as show in fig:01

The free electrons are produced due to the breaking up of some covalent
bonds by thermal energy . At the same time, holes are created in thecovalent bonds.
Extrinsic semiconductorWhen a small amount of suitable impurity(trivalent or pentavalent)
is added to a pure semiconductor is called extrinsic semiconductor.
The process of adding impurities to a semiconductor is knows as doping.
Depending upon the type of impurity added, extrinsic semiconductors are
classified into:(i)n-type semiconductor (ii)p-type semiconductor

To produce a n-type semiconductor a small amount of pentavalent impurity i
added to a pure semiconductor . The addition of pentavalentimpurity provides a large number of free electrons in the semiconductor.

N-type conductivity:When potential difference is applied to the n-type semiconductor, the free
electrons in the crystal will be directed towards the positive terminal,constituting electric current as the current flow through the crystal is by free
electron which are carriers of negative charge . This type of conductivity iscalled n-type conductivity.

P-type conductivity:When potential difference is applied to the p-type semiconductor, the conductorthe hole are shifted from one covalent bond to other. As the holes are positively
charged , they are directed towards the negative terminal, constituting what is
know as hole current . It may be noted that valence electrons move from one co-
valent bond to other.

Majority and Minority CarriersA p-type semiconductor by the addition of an acceptor impurity which adds a large
number of holes. Here a p-type material contains a largenumber of holes and very smallnumber of thermally generated electron. In p-type material the number of holes is much
more that of electrons.In such a material holes constitute majority carriers and electron
are minority carriers.
Similarly in a n-type material,the number of electrons are much more than that the
thermally generated holes. In such a material holes are minority carriers and electron
are majority carriers.The majority and minority carriers as shown in fig:06

PN junctionWhen a p-type semiconductor is suitably joined to n-type semiconductor ,the
contact surface is called PN junction.
Most semiconductor devices contain one or more PN junction .The PN
junction is of great importance because it is in effect, The control element forsemiconductor devices.Properties of PN junctionTo explain the properties of a PN junction, consider two types of materials;one P-type and other N-type as shown in fig:06. In this figure, lefT side ma-
rial is a N-type semiconductor having negative acceptor ions and positive
charged hols.The right side material is P-type semiconductor having positive
donor ions and free electrons.

If we joined the n and p materials together by one of the processes mentioned earlier,
all the holes and electrons would pair up. On the contrary, this does not happen. Instead
the electrons in the n material diffuse(move or spread out) across the junction into the p
material and fill some of the holes. At the same time, the holes in the p material diffuse
across the junction into the n material and are filled by n material electrons. Thisprocess, called junction recombination reduces the number of free electrons and holes
in the vicinity of the junction. Because there is a depletion, or lack of free electrons and
holes in this area, it is known as the depletion region.
The loss of an electron from the n-type material created a positive ion in the n
material, while the loss of a hole from the p material created a negative ion in that
material. These ions are fixed in place in the crystal lattice structure and cannot move.
Thus, they make up a layer of fixed charges on the two sides of the junction as shown infigure 07 . On the n side of the junction, there is a layer of positively charged ions; on
the p side of the junction, there is a layer of negatively charged ions. An electrostatic
field is established across the junction between the oppositely charged ions. The
diffusion of electrons and holes across the junction will continue until the magnitude of
the electrostatic field is increased to the point where the electrons and holes no longer
have enough energy to overcome it, and are repelled by the negative and positive ions
respectively. At this point equilibrium is established and, for all practical purposes, the
movement of carriers across the junction ceases. For this reason, the electrostatic fieldcreated by the positive and negative ions in the depletion region is called a barrier.

Applying Voltage Across PN JunctionThe potential difference across a PN junction can be applied in two ways namely:Forward bias and Reverse bias.
Forward bias:An external voltage applied to a PN junction is called bias. If, for example,
a battery is used to supply bias to a PN junction and is connected so that
its voltage opposes the junction field , it will reduce the junction barrier and ,
therefore, aid current flow through the junction. This type of bias is knownas forward bias , and it causes the junction to offer only minimum resistanceto the flow of current.

In this arrangement, electrons in the ptype material near the positive terminal of the
battery break their electronpair bonds and enter the battery, creating new holes. At
the same time, electrons from the negative terminal of the battery enter the ntype
material and diffuse toward the junction. As a result, the space charge region becomes
effectively narrower, and the energy barrier decreases to an insignificant value. Excesselectrons from the ntype material can then penetrate the space charge region, flow
across the junction, and move by way of the holes in the ptype material toward the
positive terminal of the battery. This electron flow continues as long as the external
voltage is applied. Under these conditions, the junction is said to be forwardbiased.
Reverse bias:If the battery mentioned earlier is connected across the junction so that its
voltage aids the junction, it will increase the junction barrier and thereby offer
a high resistance to the current flow through the junction. This type of bias isknown as reverse bias.

FIG:09:Reverse-biased PN junction.In this arrangement, the free electrons in the ntype material are attracted toward the
positive terminal of the battery and away from the junction. At the same time, holes
from the ptype material are attracted toward, the negative terminal of the battery
and away from the junction. As a result, the spacecharge region at the junction
becomes effectively wider, and the potential gradient increases until it approaches
the potential of the external battery. Current flow is then extremely small because
no voltage difference ( electric field ) exists across either the ptype or the ntype
region. Under these conditions, the pn junction is said to be reversebiased.

Rectifier
Definition : The circuits which convert an ac voltage into dc voltage
is called rectifier.The classification of rectifier is given bellow :

Half wave rectifierAccording to the Fig: the a.c voltage across the secondary winding AB
changes polarities after every half-cycle. During the positive half-cycle ofinput a.c. voltage end A becomes positive w.r.t. end B . This makes the
diode forward biased and hence it conducts current. During the negative
half-cycle, end A is negative w.r.t. end B . Under this condition, the diode
is reverse biased and it conducts no current. Therefore, current flows
through the diode during positive half-cycle of input a.c. voltage only ; it is
blocked during the negative half-cycle. In this way , current flows throughload R always in the same direction. Hence d.c. output is obtained acrossR.

Centre- Tap Full-Wave Rectifier
According to the Fig: . during the positive half-cycle of secondary voltage,
the end A of secondary winding becomes positive and end B negative. This makesthe diode D1 forward biased and diode D2 reversed biased. therefore, diode D1 isactive while D2 is not. The conventional current flow is through diode D1, loadresister R and the upper half of secondary winding . During the negative half-cycle ,end A of the secondary winding becomes negative and end B positive. Therefore,diode D2 is active while D1 is not. The conventional current flow through diode D2 ,load R and the lower winding . It may be seen that current in the load R is in thesame direction both half-cycles of input a.c. voltage. Therefore , d.c. is obtained
across the load R.

Bridge rectifier
According to the Fig: A bridge rectifier requires four diode instead of two , but avoids
the need for s centre-tapped transformer . During the positive half-cycle of thesecondary voltage , diodes D2 and D4 are conducting and diodes D1and D3 are nonconducting . Therefore , current flows through the secondary winding , diode D2 ,load resister R and diode D4. during negative half-cycles of the secondary voltage,diodes D1 and D3 conduct , and the diode D2 and D4 do not conduct . The currenttherefore flows through the secondary winding , diode D1 , load resister R, and diodeD3 . In both cases , the current passes through the load resister in the same direction. Therefore , a fluctuating , unidirectional voltage is developed across the load.

CLIPERSClippers are network that employ diodes to clip away a portion of an
input signal without distorting remaining part of the applied waveform.Depending on the orientation of the diode , the positive or negative region
the input signal is clipped off.
There are two categories of clippers: series and parallel
The series configuration is defined as one where the diode is in series with
the load, while the parallel variety has the diode in a parallel to the load.

Clamping networks have a capacitor connected directlyfrom input to output with a resistive element in parallel
with the output signal. The diode is also parallel with the
output signal but may or may not have a series dc supply
as an added element.
If the DC value of a signal needs to be changed, a
capacitor can be charged with the appropriate value.
When connected in series with the signal source, it willthen provide the desired DC level.

For positive values of the input signal, the diode
immediately conducts, allowing the capacitor to be
charged. The RC time constant is small because the
only resistor present is the small internal resistor of the
diode (less than 1 ). For negative values of the input
signal, the diode is reverse-biased, so the capacitor
cannot be discharged, maintaining the potential. Ingeneral, if we use a battery of voltage V , the output
signal will be: Vout = Vp + V + Vp sinwt = Vp(sinwt 1)+ V
