6.7 Electron flow is the movement of electrons 9 through material, from a


negative potential to a positive potential. 9
Conventional current flow is the flow of current, 9 from a positive potential to
a negative potential. 9 (4)

6.8 Solid-state devices are devices that are built entirely from solid materials, 9
and in which the electrons or other charge carriers are confined entirely within
the solid material. 9 (2)

valence electrons, 9 is doped with a material that has five valence
electrons. 9
Four valance electrons from the semiconductor and from the impurity
combine and form covalent bonds. 9
The fifth electron remains unbonded. 9
This creates an excess of electrons that can be broken away from their
atoms and become part of conduction. 9 (5)

6.10 A zener diode has a unique reverse biased operating characteristic 9 in that
it blocks any flow of current when under low reverse voltage 9 but as soon as
the voltage rises to reach its ‘zener breakdown’, it breaks down and allows a
current to flow in the reverse direction without any damage to itself. 9 (3)

6.11 6.11.1 Emitter 9base 9 – junction needs to be forward biased. (2)

6.11.2 Collector 9 base 9– junction should be reverse biased. (2)

6.12 The usual method of turning an SCR on is by forward biasing the anode-
cathode 9 terminals and applying a positive voltage to the gate
terminal. 9
By raising the anode-cathode forward biasing voltage 9 to a large positive
level which will force the one reverse biased PN junction to break down. 9 (4)
