Lec2 - SemiCond Current

The document discusses current conduction in semiconductors. It introduces the topics of Fermi level, Fermi-Dirac distribution function, and the Hall effect. The Fermi level represents the energy level where the probability of finding an electron is 50% in a semiconductor. It further explains how the Fermi level differs in intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors. The Hall effect refers to the production of voltage differences in conductors due to the presence of a magnetic field.

FERMI LEVELS

 Fermi level is the energy level in semiconductor device


in which the probability of finding the electrons is 50%
 The likelihood of each level is populated by an electron
is called Fermi-Direct distribution function f(E).

21
FERMI LEVELS in Intrinsic SC

 In intrinsic semiconductor, n=p which implies there are


equal chance of finding an electron at the conduction
band edge as there is finding hole at the valence band
edge. Thus
