In this chapter, a brief description of the basic concepts governing the flow of [size=9.96001pt]current in a pn junction are discussed. Both intrinsic and extrinsic semicon2 n5 {7 p; N3 r( T, ?! w
ductors are discussed. The characteristics of depletion and diffusion capaci[size=9.96001pt]tance are explored through the use of example problems solved with9 N. w! _1 n( |+ }- c. a: d

According to the planetary model of an isolated atom, the nucleus that con[size=9.96001pt]tains protons and neutrons constitutes most of the mass of the atom. Electrons

The energy levels of the outer electrons form energy bands. In insulators, the[size=9.96001pt]lower energy band (valence band) is completely filled and the next energy* c! u6 m! C" E) U4 A5 ]
band (conduction band) is completely empty. The valence and conduction[size=9.96001pt]bands are separated by a forbidden energy gap.
