Lecture 27, 04 Dec 12Chp. 06: Carrier transport current contributions VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Review of Diffusion HW06 Prs. 6.3, 6.4, 6.7 involve diffusion Review of diffusion taken from pp. 134-136, Streetman and Banerjee, available on class website VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Expected behavior of a pulse of electrons generated at x = 0 & t = 0, over later times: t1, t2, t3….. -L 0 L VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Closer look at electrons spreading out in space over time Break distance into average chunks lbar More technically, lbar is the distance an electron can go between scattering events: the mean free path VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Closer look at electrons spreading out in space over time VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Accurate description: Electrons moving right: ½(n1lbarA) Electrons moving left: ½(n2lbarA) Therefore: the net number of electrons moving from x = 0 to, for example, x = L is: Net electrons = ½(lbarA)[n1 – n2] VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Definition of electron flux fn(x): net number of electrons moving from x = 0 to x = L per time The right time to use is the average time between scattering events: the mean free time: tbar fn(x) = Net electrons = ½(lbarA)[n1 – n2] Area tbar VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Goal: re-cast n1 – n2 as a derivative: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Now plug n1 – n2 back in to re-cast fn(x) as a derivative: And take the limit as Dx becomes very small: Dx -> 0: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Converting to diffusion current Jdiff: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Review of drift: HW06 Prs. 6.3 also involves mobility related to drift current Review of drift taken from pp. 98-100, Streetman and Banerjee, available on class website VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Force of the electric field on the electrons Decelerations due to collisions balance VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Can think of this as: the probability of staying un-scattered is exponentially decreasing Interval of time t dt VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Use in Pr. 6.3 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12

Review of Poisson’s equation: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Example problem: 5 Given equilibrium (300K). Calculate r Sketch charge density and E (x) to scale VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Given: VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Find r: where is it? VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Find r: where is it: in the depletion region: Where do you want to put the junction? VM Ayres, ECE874, F12 W
Find r: where is it: in the depletion region: on both sides xp0 xn0 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12 W
Find r: charge density: Also could do this directly: r = qNA = q(1 x 1018) VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Find r: charge density: Also could do this directly: r = qND = q(5 x 1015) VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Sketch charge density and E (x) to scale VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Pr. 6.7 (i): use a Taylor expansionPr. 6.9 (e): use simple diagram way of getting E, similar to Pr. 4.11 VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Steady state: Chp. 05: rN = rP versus equilibrium rN = 0 and rP = 0 BUT… VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
Steady state: Chp. 05: rN = rP versus equilibrium rN = 0 and rP = 0 Steady state: Chp. 06: dn/dt = dp/dt = 0 Useful in Pr. 6.9 (g) VM Ayres, ECE874, F12
