Hey Guys! I hope you all are doing great. In the previous tutorial, we studied the basics of Semiconductors, where we briefly discussed the PN Junction. Today, we are going to have a detailed overview of PN Junction.
But before getting into the details of PN Junction, we need to first recall a few concepts from the previous lecture:
Semiconductor Basics
As we know, the conductive power of a semiconductor material lies between a conductor and an insulator. So, it can act as a pure conductor as well as a pure insulator, depending on the applied conditions. Semiconductors are divided into two types:
Intrinsic Semiconductor.
Extrinsic Semiconductor.
Intrinsic Semiconductor
A semiconductor in its pure form is called an Intrinsic semiconductor. In this state, the outermost valan ...
