Sub Topic Name : N-Type Semiconductor |
Electronic components that exploit the electronic properties of semiconductor materials, principally silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, as well as organic semiconductors.
Semiconductor
Silicon (Si) is the most widely used material in semiconductor devices.
What is N-type Semiconductor?
Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
---|---|
N-type semiconductors. | Semiconductors that have been doped in this way will have a surplus of electrons, and are called n-type semiconductors. |
Gadgets | How it can be used |
---|---|
microprocessors | All transistor types can be used as the building blocks of logic gates, which are fundamental in the design of digital circuits. Transistors act as on-off switches; in the MOSFET, for instance, the voltage applied to the gate determines whether the switch is on or off. |
Building circuits.
Digital circuits.
Examples | Explainations |
---|---|
Solar cell | Electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. |
Electrons are the majority carriers.
Additional electrons which may be easily excited into the conduction band.
