00:00:05
from this presentation we will start
00:00:07
analog electronics and in the first
00:00:08
lecture we will complete semiconductor
00:00:11
materials they are the backbone of
00:00:13
electronic devices and circuits that's
00:00:15
why it is very important to know what
00:00:17
are the different semiconductor
00:00:19
materials available to us and also their
00:00:21
properties so in this course we will
00:00:24
complete some topics like BJT mosfet jet
00:00:28
they are the Field Effect transist and
00:00:30
also the operational amplifiers in short
00:00:33
we call operational amplifier as OPM so
00:00:36
first we will complete the semiconductor
00:00:38
materials before going to diode and bjts
00:00:41
so let's start with it the first topic
00:00:43
is Conductor the term conductor is used
00:00:45
for any material that will support a
00:00:47
generous flow of charge when the voltage
00:00:50
is applied across the terminals we
00:00:52
already know the flow of charge through
00:00:55
a cross-sectional area in the given time
00:00:57
is called as current is called as
00:01:00
current and we have to check for the
00:01:03
amount of current flowing through the
00:01:04
material and depending upon this current
00:01:06
we will categorize them in three
00:01:08
categories the first one is Conductor
00:01:10
the second one is insulator and the
00:01:12
third one is semiconductor so let's
00:01:14
start with it I have taken two example
00:01:16
for the conductor the first one is the
00:01:18
copper wire and the second one is the
00:01:19
aluminium wire you must have seen them
00:01:22
in electrical equipments in your home
00:01:24
they are the most commonly used
00:01:25
conductors and if I cut this copper wire
00:01:28
I have a cross-section that will look
00:01:30
something like this so we have a
00:01:31
cross-sectional area a that is equal to
00:01:33
p piun r² and the amount of current
00:01:36
flowing through this cross-sectional
00:01:38
area in the given time is very high that
00:01:40
is the definition for the conductor the
00:01:42
flow of charge is very high when the
00:01:43
voltage applied across it terminals
00:01:46
whereas in case of insulator we have the
00:01:50
flow of current or you can say the
00:01:52
conductivity is very low when the
00:01:54
voltage is applied across the terminals
00:01:56
and the example that I have taken is MAA
00:02:00
is Mica and wood this Mica is very
00:02:05
important in electrical Industries it is
00:02:08
used for the thermal it is used for the
00:02:12
thermal and electrical and electrical
00:02:14
insulation in electrical equipment so it
00:02:16
is very important you must have seen it
00:02:19
and uh wood is definitely one of the
00:02:21
insulator so this is all for the
00:02:23
insulator the conductivity is really low
00:02:26
and you can say that the flow of charge
00:02:28
is nearly equal to zero in this case
00:02:31
let's move to the next thing that is our
00:02:34
semiconductor and the most important
00:02:36
thing that you must know in this course
00:02:38
so let's start with the semiconductor
00:02:40
what it is it is a material that has
00:02:42
conductivity more than the insulators
00:02:44
but less than the conductor very simple
00:02:46
that's why we call it semiconductor so
00:02:49
we can say that the flow of current in
00:02:51
semiconductor is not as much as the
00:02:53
conductor and not as low as the
00:02:56
insulator it is somewhere between the
00:02:58
conductor and insulator
00:03:00
and because of this only we call it
00:03:02
semiconductor the two most important
00:03:04
semiconductor material that you should
00:03:07
know are silicon and germanium silicon
00:03:11
is represented by Si and germanium is
00:03:13
represented by G they are very important
00:03:16
and we will see their properties in a
00:03:18
minute but before that I will talk about
00:03:20
the resistivity in this we will see the
00:03:23
resistivity
00:03:25
for the
00:03:27
resistivity for the conductor insulator
00:03:30
and semiconductor let's start with the
00:03:34
resistivity first what it is it is
00:03:36
represented by row and it is the
00:03:39
reciprocal for the conductivity Sigma is
00:03:41
the conductivity and row is the
00:03:43
resistivity and uh in terms of
00:03:46
resistance we can write resistivity as
00:03:48
row equals to R A by L where a is the
00:03:53
area of cross-section and L is the
00:03:55
length of the wire whose resistivity we
00:03:57
are measuring and it is the property of
00:04:00
the material this one is the
00:04:06
property of
00:04:10
material and for every material it is
00:04:13
fixed and for unit you can see we have
00:04:17
the ohm we have the ohm and we have
00:04:20
meter Square for area and um in
00:04:24
denominator we have meter for length so
00:04:27
the unit is mm
00:04:30
meter let's see the resistivity for the
00:04:33
conductor for conductor it is 10 ^ - 6
00:04:40
ohm CM you can see the resistivity is
00:04:43
very low and it is obvious that if
00:04:46
resistivity is high if resistivity is
00:04:50
high the current is going to be low
00:04:52
because the material is offering more
00:04:55
resistance whereas if resistivity is low
00:04:58
the current is going to be more because
00:05:00
the resistance offered by the material
00:05:03
is really low and for conductors we know
00:05:06
the flow of current is very high that's
00:05:08
why the resistivity is going to be low
00:05:11
and it is 10 ^ minus 6 and uh this one
00:05:15
this 10 ^ minus 6 is specifically for
00:05:19
the copper this one is for the copper
00:05:23
and as I have told you the resistivity
00:05:25
is the property of the material so it
00:05:28
may vary material aterial to material
00:05:30
for aluminium maybe it is different so
00:05:33
you have to write down in bracket that
00:05:35
it is for copper let's talk about the
00:05:39
insulator the insulator for Mica it is
00:05:42
10 ^
00:05:44
12 ohm
00:05:46
cm and you can see this is a huge amount
00:05:49
of resistivity 10 the^ 12 you can guess
00:05:52
what amount of resistance this material
00:05:55
is going to offer to the flow of charge
00:05:58
that's why we can say that the flow of
00:06:00
charge is negligible for Mica whereas if
00:06:04
I talk about the resistivity of the
00:06:06
Silicon it is 50 into 10 ^ 3 ohm cm and
00:06:13
for germanium it is 50 ohm CM so you can
00:06:19
clearly see that the resistivity for the
00:06:21
semiconductor let's say row s is the
00:06:24
resistivity of the semiconductor is less
00:06:28
than the resistivity
00:06:29
of the insulator so it is less than the
00:06:32
resistivity of insulator and it is
00:06:36
greater than the resistivity of the
00:06:38
conductor row C so this is the relation
00:06:42
that you must keep in your mind and
00:06:44
depending on this we have the flow of
00:06:46
current through this materials the flow
00:06:48
of current will be revers if I say
00:06:52
I is the flow of current for the
00:06:55
semiconductor then it is greater than
00:06:59
the insulator and less than the
00:07:02
conductor so this is all for the
00:07:05
resistivity now we will move to the next
00:07:07
topic that is the energy Bend diagram
00:07:10
I'm not going in much depth I will just
00:07:12
touch the surface of this energy Bend
00:07:15
diagram so let's see what is this energy
00:07:17
band diagram when the atom is isolated
00:07:20
let me draw the atom first this is the
00:07:22
nucleus having the neutrons and protons
00:07:25
and we have the orbits in which El Rons
00:07:29
are
00:07:30
present and we call this orbits as l m n
00:07:35
and so on and this outermost orbit will
00:07:38
have the valence electron because they
00:07:41
will participate in the chemical
00:07:42
reactions this is a simple model for an
00:07:45
isolated atom remember this one is the
00:07:48
isolated atom but in general the atom is
00:07:50
not isolated it is present in the
00:07:52
lettuce in case of silicon you can see
00:07:56
we have the lettuce in which the atom is
00:07:59
present
00:08:00
and uh it will form a particular
00:08:02
structure that we will see in a minute
00:08:05
and thus the neighboring atom will have
00:08:07
the influence on this atom as well this
00:08:10
atom will have some influence on the
00:08:12
neighboring atoms so what will be the
00:08:14
change because of the neighboring atoms
00:08:16
that we have to see this outermost orbit
00:08:19
will now split into the valance band and
00:08:22
the conduction band this one is the
00:08:27
valance band
00:08:30
and this one is the
00:08:33
conduction band so we have a splitted
00:08:37
outermost orbit and the electron present
00:08:39
in the conduction band will participate
00:08:41
in the conduction so if electron is
00:08:43
present in the valence band we have to
00:08:46
move this electron to the conduction
00:08:48
band and how we are going to do that the
00:08:51
only way to do that is to give this
00:08:53
electron some energy and the amount of
00:08:56
energy that we have to give this
00:08:58
electron must must be equal to this Gap
00:09:01
we call this energy band Gap or we call
00:09:05
it as the Forbidden band Gap we call
00:09:08
this forbidden band Gap because no
00:09:10
electron is allowed to stay in this
00:09:13
region that's why it is forbidden I will
00:09:16
represent this Gap by E
00:09:18
not and in some books they will
00:09:20
represent this Gap by EG so it doesn't
00:09:24
matter whatever representation you want
00:09:27
to use you can and in case of insulators
00:09:31
this is the energy band diagram
00:09:35
for insulators you can see it is very
00:09:39
large and hence the electron from the
00:09:41
valence band will require more energy to
00:09:44
go to the conduction B and participate
00:09:47
in the conduction that's why they are
00:09:49
not good conductors and they will not
00:09:51
allow the flow of charge and uh more
00:09:56
precisely e not is nearly equal to 6 6
00:09:59
electron volt for the insulators and you
00:10:02
already know 1 electron volt is equal to
00:10:06
1.6 into 10 ^
00:10:09
-9 jewles so you have to give six times
00:10:13
of this energy to make this electron
00:10:16
appear in the conduction band this is
00:10:19
for the insulators and if I talk about
00:10:21
the semiconductors definitely this band
00:10:24
is going to be much narrower and you can
00:10:27
see here we have reduced forbidden band
00:10:31
Gap and it is nearly equal to 1 electron
00:10:36
volt in case
00:10:38
of
00:10:40
semiconductors and uh if I talk about
00:10:45
germanium then it is
00:10:47
0.75 electron volt and in case of
00:10:50
silicon it is equal to
00:10:53
1.16 electron volt now you might be
00:10:56
thinking why in casee of germanium we
00:10:58
have 0.75 electron volt as the Forbidden
00:11:01
band Gap whereas in case of silicon it
00:11:04
is
00:11:04
1.16 geranium is having the lower energy
00:11:09
band Gap as compared to the Silicon
00:11:12
because of its atomic structure if you
00:11:14
see the atomic structure of geranium you
00:11:16
will find the number of orbits are more
00:11:19
and hence the force of attraction
00:11:21
between the valence electron and the
00:11:22
nucleus is smaller whereas in case of
00:11:25
silicon we have lesser number of orbits
00:11:27
and hence the force of attration is more
00:11:30
strong on the electrons so you have to
00:11:33
give more energy you can feel it like
00:11:35
electron is here and the nucleus is
00:11:39
pulling this electron towards itself and
00:11:41
you have to give energy to make this
00:11:44
electron appear in the conduction band
00:11:46
and depending upon the nucleus if it is
00:11:49
closer you have to give more energy if
00:11:51
it is far you have to give less energy
00:11:53
and in case of germanium the force of
00:11:55
attraction between the nucleus and the
00:11:57
electron is is smaller whereas in case
00:12:00
of silicon it is larger that's why we
00:12:02
have to give more energy in case of
00:12:04
silicon as compared to the germanium it
00:12:07
is very simple thing it is just pure
00:12:09
chemistry that you have studied in your
00:12:11
ninth standard now we can move to the
00:12:14
last type of material that we have to
00:12:16
see and it is
00:12:20
Conductor and you can see in case of
00:12:23
conductors the conduction band and the
00:12:27
valance band is overlapping there is no
00:12:30
forbid and bend Gap and thus the
00:12:33
conductivity is very high because
00:12:35
electron is free to go from Valance band
00:12:38
to conduction band and it will
00:12:40
participate in conduction without giving
00:12:43
any extra energy to it that's why the
00:12:45
conductivity is very high and this is
00:12:48
all about the energy band diagram and
00:12:50
you have one more definition to write in
00:12:53
your exam if someone ask you what do you
00:12:55
mean by the semiconductor you can easily
00:12:57
say that it is the Mater material in
00:12:59
which the Forbidden band Gap is nearly
00:13:03
equal to 1 electron volt whereas in case
00:13:06
of insulators it is nearly equal to 6
00:13:08
electron volt or more than it and in
00:13:11
case of conductors they overlap each
00:13:13
other so this is also a point that you
00:13:16
have to write in your exam now we will
00:13:19
see the periodic table so that we have a
00:13:21
better idea for the position of the
00:13:24
germanium and silicon and we can predict
00:13:26
some of the properties from this
00:13:28
periodic table so let's move to it this
00:13:30
is the periodic table and I hope you
00:13:33
know how to use a periodic table and in
00:13:36
what Manner the elements are distributed
00:13:38
to the different groups actually they
00:13:40
are distributed depending upon the
00:13:42
number of electrons in their outermost
00:13:44
orbit and in case of silicon and
00:13:47
germanium that you can see here this is
00:13:50
silicon and this one is germanium they
00:13:52
belong to group four and why they are in
00:13:55
group four because they have four
00:13:57
electrons in the outermost orbit you can
00:14:00
see in case of silicon the total number
00:14:03
of electron or the atomic number is 14
00:14:06
and you can have the electron in the
00:14:10
first orbit the maximum number of
00:14:12
electron in the first orbit equals to
00:14:14
two so we have two electrons in the
00:14:16
first orbit then we have eight electrons
00:14:19
so 2 + 8 is 10 and finally we have four
00:14:22
electrons so you can see four electrons
00:14:24
are there in the outermost orbit whereas
00:14:27
in case of germanium we have 32
00:14:29
electrons let's have two electrons in
00:14:32
the first orbit then 8 then 18 and then
00:14:37
four so germanium is also having four
00:14:40
electrons in its outermost orbit now
00:14:43
there is one very important thing that
00:14:44
you should keep in your mind that every
00:14:47
element will want to have a stable State
00:14:50
and for that they must have the noble
00:14:53
gas configuration this is the group for
00:14:56
the noble gas we have helium Neon Aron
00:14:59
Krypton Zenon redon and the Silicon will
00:15:03
try to have the configuration for Argon
00:15:06
that is the 18 electrons and germanium
00:15:08
will also try to have the configuration
00:15:11
for the Krypton that is 36 electron so
00:15:14
they need four more electrons to have
00:15:16
the noble gas
00:15:17
configuration and we will find a way so
00:15:20
that they will have four more electrons
00:15:23
the unique qualities of germanium and
00:15:25
silicon are due to their atomic
00:15:27
structure the atom of germanium and
00:15:29
silicon forms a definite pattern that
00:15:32
continuously repeats itself one complete
00:15:35
pattern is called Crystal and the
00:15:37
periodic Arrangement is called the
00:15:39
lettuce in this presentation when I make
00:15:42
the atomic structure for silicon I will
00:15:44
explain you what is this pattern and how
00:15:47
we can have this pattern by the calent
00:15:51
bond okay I will make the atomic
00:15:54
structure for silicon quickly this one
00:15:58
is the nucleus then we have our first
00:16:03
orbit and in this first orbit we have
00:16:06
two
00:16:07
electrons as I have already told you
00:16:10
then we will have our second
00:16:14
orbit and this second orbit will have
00:16:17
eight electrons let's make this eight
00:16:21
electrons
00:16:24
quickly it's like we are doing the
00:16:26
problem of ninth standard
00:16:29
but these things are really important in
00:16:31
analog Electronics so we have two
00:16:33
electrons and then eight electrons in
00:16:36
total we have 10 we need four more
00:16:38
electrons to make 14
00:16:42
electrons this is circular I'm not
00:16:45
making it
00:16:46
circular so let's add four more
00:16:51
electrons okay so this is the atomic
00:16:54
structure for silicon and we want to
00:16:57
have four more electrons in this silicon
00:17:00
so that it attains the noble gas
00:17:02
configuration to do that we will make a
00:17:04
covalent bond we have three types of
00:17:06
bond the first one is the ionic bond or
00:17:10
electrovalent bond in which the donation
00:17:12
of the electron is done you will donate
00:17:14
the electron to some other entity
00:17:17
completely whereas in case of coent bond
00:17:21
we just share the electron so we are
00:17:24
going to see
00:17:26
how by the calent bond
00:17:29
Bond we can have the eight electrons in
00:17:32
the outermost orbit I will copy it down
00:17:36
and then I will paste
00:17:38
it
00:17:40
okay I will
00:17:42
copy and paste
00:17:45
again now you can see now you can see we
00:17:49
can have the covalent bond between this
00:17:53
two
00:17:54
electrons and this two
00:17:57
electrons and we have we have to
00:17:59
focus to this particular atom we don't
00:18:02
have to see for this two atoms we will
00:18:04
see for this atom we will try to have
00:18:06
eight electrons in the outermost orbit
00:18:08
of this atom only for now and uh you can
00:18:11
see we have
00:18:13
one 2 3 this electron is shared 4 5 6
00:18:22
okay so we have six electrons we need
00:18:25
two more so I'm going to
00:18:27
paste
00:18:28
one more silicon
00:18:30
atom and finally the last one
00:18:35
here and I will make two more coent
00:18:38
bonds taking this two electrons and this
00:18:42
two electrons so we have seven and eight
00:18:45
so we have eight electrons for this
00:18:47
silicon atom and this is the pattern
00:18:50
that I was talking about and this is one
00:18:52
complete pattern and uh more patterns
00:18:56
like this will make our lettuce and that
00:18:58
lettuce is used in the diode bjts and
00:19:02
other electronic devices so we are
00:19:04
moving to the important topics real
00:19:07
quick you have to keep this
00:19:10
configuration in your mind it will help
00:19:12
you to understand intrinsic and
00:19:14
extrinsic semiconductors so this is all
00:19:17
we are already pushing our time in the
00:19:19
next presentation we will study about
00:19:22
the intrinsic and extrinsic
00:19:24
semiconductor as well as the electron
00:19:26
and hole concept
