P-N Junction:1. Fundamental concepts2. P-N Junction
Where to find ECE302 materials;
• Simple to Basic; Khan Academy
• Basic to Advanced: MIT OCW• Other websites• Pictures/Videos on the web
Hands-on Demos:
Friday; questions/quiz
Download Course Materials:D2L and/or https://www.egr.msu.edu/nsferc/ECE302/
Unique Features of ECE302: Hands-on demos explain devices and electronic circuits.LEGOs based demos are unique in the world.Use of smartphone Apps for understanding electronic circuits.Weekly quizzes; open book and open Internet, answer on D2L.Best device/circuit web resources; Khan Academy, MIT OCW, etc.No textbook or e-book needed.Creative group learning approach; focus on underlying concepts.
Important Note: Learn how to use D2L as you will enter yourweekly quiz answers directly on D2L.
Questions:What is creative group learning?
Group Learning:1) Learning Using Creative/New Ideas; Discover Your Creativity and
Share Your Creative Findings with Class and Instructor.2) Smartphone Circuit Simulation; iCircuits, EveryCircuit, etc. 3) Different Accents in Videos Lectures Worldwide; Why is it
Important to Know Accents? Globalization of Industry. 4) Write a 5 page Group Activities Report.
D2L Login; setup needed.
Understanding P-N JUNCTION; Hands-on Demo:
R
Is each diode same for all the five junctions shown in the adjacent figure? Explain why?
Questions
Why is p-n junction involved in so many devices?
Fundamentals: Semiconductor . . . A key material

P-N Junction: What is built-in potential, Vbior ɸo?
ɸ
QuestionsWhat is built-in potential?Why is it so important?
DriftDiffusion
ɸₒ is built-in Potential (Vbi); it is due to fixed acceptors and donors causing carrier drift opposing majority carrier diffusion across the junction Can Vbi (ɸo) be measured using a
voltmeter? What is the source of Vbi? Why is E-field negative (directed from n to p)?
Questions
For forward bias, can the voltage drop across junction region exceed the Vbi? Explain why?
What is charge depletion? Why is it important?
Junction Formation;
t = 0; Vbi=0
t > 0; Vbi < ɸₒt = ∞; Vbi = ɸₒ
Why do they stop diffusing at t = ∞?
Because drift and diffusion currents become equal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj6Y6JCu‐l4
Why don’t you meet me in the middle?
Wednesday Lecture
P-N Junction I-V:
Is Vbi measureable by a voltmeter?Is Vbi due to electrons and holes?What role does Vbi play in a p-n junction?Is Vbi same for all the five junctions shown in the adjacent figure? Explain why?
