INTRODUCTION:
Working:
Like an ordinary diode, the LED diode works
when it is forward biased. In this case, the n-
type semiconductor is heavily doped than the p-
type forming the p-n junction. When it is forward
biased, the potential barrier gets reduced and
the electrons and holes combine at the depletion
layer (or active layer), light or photons are
emitted or radiated in all directions. A typical
figure blow showing light emission due electron-
hole pair combining on
forward
biasing. The emission of photons in
an LED is explained by the energy band theory of solids,
which dictates that light emission depends on the material’s
band gap being direct or indirect. Those semiconductor
materials which have a direct band gap are the ones that emit
photons. In a direct bandgap material, the bottom of the
energy level of conduction band lies directly above the
topmost energy level of the valence band on the Energy vs
Momentum (wave vector ‘k’) diagram.
