What is Electronics?

Electronics is the branch of physics and technology


concerned with the design of circuits using
semiconductors.
What is Semiconductor?

Semiconductors are materials which have a


conductivity between conductors and non-
conductors or insulators.

Semiconductor Materials
Silicon Crystals
• In silicon's pure
state these form
crystals with just
enough electrons (4)
in the outer layer of
the atoms to form
the crystal, not too
many, not too few.
• As electronic
circuits depend on
the movement of
electrons these are
not very useful as
the crystals hang on
to their electrons
and are almost pure
insulators.
Doping

• The situation changes when we add small amounts


of impurities.
• The process is called DOPING. These impurities
used to dope silicon come in two forms
P-Type
• P-type impurities such as boron
have 3 electrons in their outer
shell.
• When mixed with silicon they
form 3 bonds leaving one
unbonded.
• This results in holes where an
electron is missing. This is
effectively makes them
positively charged (Hence the
term P-type)
• The holes can accept electrons
and so electrons move from hole
to hole again making P-type a
conductor. The movement of
electrons from hole to hole also
looks like hole movement in the
opposite direction.
N-Type
• N-type impurities such as
phosphorus.
• 5 electrons in their outer
shell.
• When mixed with silicon
which has 4 electrons in
its outer shell they result
in free electrons which
are negatively charged
(Hence the term N-type).
• These turn the silicon into
a good conductor.
