Answer

3 semiconductors used most frequently - Ge, Si, GaAs (gallium arsenide)


- Germanium (Ge) - sensitivity to changes in temperature
- Si - less temp sensitive, and abundant on earth
- GaAs - high speed

Even though carbon lies in the same group of periodic table as germanium and silicon, it is not a pure or an intrinsic semicond

Electrons in outermost shell is called valence e


- 3e = trivalent
- 4e = tetravalent
- 5e = pentavalent
5e
3e
n-type

p-type

Doping

Introducing a pentavalent impurity for doping


Doping a pure gemanium / silicon crystal with impurity atoms with 3 valence electrons
- Majority carrier have higher concentration in semicoductor
- Minority carrier have lower concentration in semicoductor
Holes
Electron

Yes, we have current of minorities or reverse saturation current.


Since this current is really small (0.7V-Si, 0.3V-Ge) -> consider as 0

Majorities: hole for p-type, e for n-type


diffusion capacitance is larger than transition capacitanced

2 types
npn, pnp

This lower doping level decreases the conductivity (increases the resistance) of this
material by limiting the number of “free” carriers.
Ic=ie-ib => To attain the largest ic, ib need to be small, because 5% of emitter current transfer to base and 95 % current passin
ib is small or large, which depends on the conductivity that is relative to doping. Therefore, we have to lightly dope.
The width also depends on the doping. So that, less doping, dess area=> thin base area.
Emitter(E) , Base(B), Collector(C)
Ic, Ib,Ie, Ic = βIb, Ie = (β+1)Ib,ic=anpha.ie
DC: DC current gain, the proportionality between ic and ib; AC: common-emitter , forward-current , amplification factor
Beta is a particularly important parameter because it provides a
direct link between current levels. A common-emitter configuration, for example,
it provide relationship of the input and output circuits .
Because it depends on the doping concentration of each manufacturer

DC analysis:
- To establish a fixed level of current and voltage, or an static operating point Q on the characteristics.
AC analysis:
- Find Zi, Zo, Ai, Av
- But, Amplification in the ac domain cannot be obtained without the application of dc biasing level .

DC: capacitor -> open-circuit; AC: capacitor -> short-circuit


Z_c = 1/(2.pi.f.C)
DC: f=0 > Z_c = infinity > open-circuit
AC: f=very big ~ infinity (in application) > Z_c = 0 > short-circuit
Q point, DC load line: define the region that will be employed for amplification of the applied signal
DC load line:
Q(I_b, I_c, V_CE)

3 configurations
+ CB=common Base: Base in common, input = emitter, output = collector
+ CE=common Emitter: Emitter in common, input = base, output = collector
+ CC=common Collector: similar to CE, hardly use, Collector in common, input = base, output=emitter

More than 2 ways. 2 common use way


+ Voltage-divider biasing
+ Feedback
Because
+ To determine the desired quantities of the network.
+ an important parameter of the equivalent circuit was determined by the actual operating conditions
rather than using a data sheet value that in some cases could be quite different

It is diode resistance when replacing the diode


by its equivalent resistance
rE =( kT/q)/I_e(DC) = 26mV/I_e(DC)(Si)

V_T = kT/q
where
k = Boltzmann’s constant = 1.38 x 10 ^(-23) J/K,
T_K = the absolute temperature in kelvins = 273 + the temperature in °C,
q = the magnitude of electronic charge = 1.6 x 10 ^(-19) C

rE = V_T/IE

Because:
+ allows amplifiers to be characterized according to their effective input and output impedances
as well as their power and current ratings. When cascading individual amplifier stages together one after another -> minimise
through the amplification circuit.
+ Simplify complex circuit as 'black box' or 4 terminal model without care much about anything inside

hhh
2 types: JFET, MOSFET (additional: MESFET)

JFET:
- Operate only in depletion mode (Up<UGS<0, UDS>0)
- Reverse biasing of the gate terminal controls the conductivity
- JFET input impedance is much smaller
- Chareacteris curve is Flatter
- Manufacturing process is simple
- It has 3 terminal Gate(G), Drain (D), Source(S)
- Drain resister (10^5-10^6 Ω)
MOSFET:
- Operate in Enhancement and depletion mode. D-mosfet ( wtih every UGS, UDS>0), E-mosfet (UGS>Uth>0, UDS>0)
- Carriers induced in the channel controls the Conductivity
- MOSFET input impedance is much highẻ
- Less FLat characteristics cure in comparison to JFET
- Manufacturing process is difficult
- Has 4 terminals: G,D,S,SS
- Drain resistance in case of MOSFETs is of the order of 1 to 50 K Ω.

just provide potential between source and drain (V_DS>0) -> have current
JFET, DMOS
n channel EMOS, p channel EMOS
Since DMOS is outdated, that is, not being used anymore. People mainly use EMOS, so when we say MOSFET,
we immediately think about E-MOSFET
Structure: MOS = metal oxide semiconductor
Operation: FET = field effect transistor => Transistor works based on the field effect
when we have voltage V_G > 0, the channel is constructed
-> Control behavior of EMOS by controlling voltage
Source(S), Gate (G), Drain (D)
I_s = I_d = I_ds, commonly use I_d
I_d = k(V_GS - V_T)^2
Transconductance
Transconductance is an expression of the performance.
gm = d(I_d)/d(V_gs)
the larger the transconductance figure for a device, the greater the gain(amplification) it is capable of delivering, when all othe
constant
the level in which the channel is absolutely constructed
when V_GS<V_T -> channel is neutralized by substrate

DC analysis:
- To establish a fixed level of current and voltage, or an static operating point Q on the characteristics.
AC analysis:
- Find Zi, Zo, Ai, Av
- But, Amplification in the ac domain cannot be obtained without the application of dc
biasing level .
DC: capacitor -> open-circuit
AC: capacitor -> short-circuit
Q point, DC load line: define the region that will be employed for amplification of the applied signal.
Yes, totally similar
Q point is the contact point of the Load line and the characteristic curve
Q is defined by VGS(Q) and ID(Q)
To ensure the range of AC signal is flexible as much as possible

3 configurations:
- Common source: Source in common, input at Gate, output at Drain
- Common drain: Drain in common, input at Gate, output at Source
- Common gate: Gate in common, input at Source, output at Drain

More than 2 ways. 2 common use way


+ Voltage-divider biasing
+ Feedback

Reasons:
- The notation MOSFET in its small signal model illustrate its characteristic value gm and its relation to VGS

Reasons:
- To understand the components of Zi, Zo
- To see the relationship between the voltages on different part of the amplifier circuits
+ allows amplifiers to be characterized according to their effective input and output impedances
as well as their power and current ratings. When cascading individual amplifier stages together one after another -> minimise
through the amplification circuit.
+ Simplify complex circuit as 'black box' or 4 terminal model without care much about anything inside
