Preface ‘This book has been primarily developed for the students/engi (Communication Engineering ‘These days more and more objective type questions are being asked in various competitive examinations to test real knowledge of students, Thus, the present day trend of competitive examinations with objective type questions is simed at evaluating the conceptual ani mathematical skills of the examinees, Almost all leading public and private sector organizations are conducting such tests for the recruitment of engineer trainees as well as management trainees. Wit large number of sandidates appearing in such fests every Veat. the competition has become tough. Therefore, for suecessin such tests, one must be familiar with the style of questions generally asked, ard praclice solving these questions and get the correct answer ers Who are looking for a bright career in the field of Electronics and There are basically Three Levels of Muliple Choice Questions tha ate asked, Level | that needs the concept, basie knowledge and implementation of echnical skills very quickly: In such case, the number of ques- tions is. 180 or 200 and the time allotted is 2 hours.

However. in such compounds the bond is still more or less covalent. The compound semiconductors offer 4 variety of choices to a material scientist and a device designer, Inspite of this Gallium Arsenide technology is the most developed compound semiconductor technology till date. Silicon and germanium are indirect gap semiconductors Gallium arsenide and related compounds have several oth- er advantages compared to silicon, The effective mass of electrons at the (gamma) minimum point is smaller than in or L. This leads to higher electrons velocity Hence GaAs devices are more suitable for high frequency high speed application Gallium Arsenide, being a direct gap semiconductor can be used to generate and detect both incoherent and eohes- coe Clases) iehite: and: hhenoe’ in-well suited for-apolications in opto-electionies, The Gallium arsenide and Aluminum, gallium arsenide are grown in layers one above the other for confinement of light, The recombination of holes and clectrons in a direct gap semiconductor such ax Gallium arsenideis more efficient. Asa result, when Galliumarsenide is subjecied to radiation, the electron-hole pairs produced by radiation recombine faster as compared to electron-hole pair produced by silicon.
