1 DIFFUSION OF CARRIERS Diffusion currents are resent in semiconductor devices which generate a satially non-uniform distribution of carriers. The most imortant examles are the -n junction and the biolar transistor,whose functions are based uon the diffusion of minority carriers within bulk regions of the oosite tye. To be secific, let us consider a non-uniform distribution of excess holes, o(x) = (x) - O' within an n-tye region as illustrated in Fig Where o(x) is ositive, the recombination rate for holes will be larger than the constant thermal generation rate~ If no additional source of holes were resent, the excess oulation o(x) would thus decay by recombination until (x) = o everywhere at equilibrium. At equilibrium, the lower recombination rate just balances thermal generation. The nonequilibrium distribution o(x) shown in the figure is maintained constant in time,.however, by injecting more holes at a uniform rate through the boundary of the n-region at x=o. The way in which this is achieved rovides the oerating basis for -n junctions. For now, we simly want to consider the consequences of having this sort of non-uniform minority carrier distribution, regardless of how it is created. Whenever (x) deends uon satial location, the random thermal motion of the carriers will tend to even out the distribtion. The holes near the to 6f the valence band behave exactly like indeen- * dent classical articles with an effective mass m. The average
2 -2- thermal velocity of these holes in thus given by equating their 1 *- 2 1 mean kinetic energy 2 mvth to 2kT, so that: 10-1 = 3xlO em s x (1) 6-1 = 6.7xlO cms x Although the holes are moving very raidly with Vth ~ 107 cm s-l through the crystal, they don't go very far in any direction before "being scattered. At room temerature, collisions with lattice vibrations limit their mean-free aths to distances of order: ~ ~ 100 R to 1000 R (2) Another way to characterize these velocity-changing collisions is by a collision time T defined according to: c (3) Each hole undergoes random motion at an average velocity Vth between collisions. An examle of the ath traced out by one such carrier is shown in Fig If the satial distribution of holes is uniform, it will not be altered by this random motion. If the distribution is non-uniform, however, the random motion of
3 -3- individual articles will result in a net flow from regions of high concentration toward regions of lower concentration. The magnitude of the diffusion current is roortional to the concentration gradient: J (diff) = -q D d-(x) dx (4) and D is known as the diffusion coefficient. We can understand this result on the basis of our simle model of random thermal motion by the following argument. the non-uniform hole distribution Consider the oint x = Xo in illustrated here. (x). J (diff) ) I xo-t/2 XO+t/2 Xo. x The average hole ~rossing Xo in the +x direction had its last collision at (xo- t/2), whereas the average hole crossing Xo in the -x direction had its last collision at (XO+t/2). In effect, one-half of the holes at x = (xo- t/2) take their next ste to the right, while one-half of the holes at x = (XO+t/2) go left. Since all the holes have the same average thermal velocity Vth' the net article current at Xo is given by:
4 -4- J (di f f) 1 ( - / 2 ) V = 2 Xo th - 1:. 2 (x 0 + / 2 ) Vth (5) The quantity in brackets is just d(x)/dx, since the mean-free ath is a very small distance. Comaring this result with Eq. (4), diffusion coefficient is found to be: D = -v = - - (6) 2 th 2 T c The units of Dare cm2 s-l, and using the above exressionsfor Vth and coefficient: yields an estimate for tyical values of the diffusion D IV 10 cm s to 100 cm s (7) Note that J (diff) here reresents an electric current density, equal to the article density - D d/dx multilied by the charge 0.. +q for each hole. The same arguments aly to electrons as well as holes, of course, excet that the charge is -q er carrier: J n (diff) = (-q) -D <:in(x» [ n dx ) (8) = +q Dn dno{x) dx The mean-free ath for electrons will in general be different from that for holes, so that D n is not identical to D.
5 -5- There is a direct relationshi between mobility and diffusion coefficient, called the Einstein relation, that can be illustrated within the context of our simle model. Acceleration of holes by an electric field is characterized by the equation of motion: m* dv dt = q E (9) But the velocity of each hole is increased in the direction of the field only over an interval of order TC between collisions. After each collision, the velocity distribution is randomized and the acceleration along the field must start over again. This yields an average drift velocity suer-imosed on the random thermal motion: ov ne d f - ~ T r1 O t m* c (10) The current density that results from this drift of holes in an electric field is: = J (drift) q (x) ov drift (11) = q (x) JJE (x) where the mobility is defined as: JJ = ovdrift - qtc E -~ m (12) The Einstein relation may be found by combining Eqs. (6) and (12): D *- 2 - kt -E 11 = 1. q (1/2 m V th) - q (13)
6 -6- This relation is more general than our simle model, and it allows the diffusion coefficient to be inferred from a measurement of the mobility. The Haynes-Shockley exeriment rovides a direct illustration of the effects of diffusion. A light ulse creates ~ excess holes in n-tye material at x=o in Fig If there were no electric field to roduce an average drift velocity, the distribution of excess holes would remain centered at x=o and sread out with time according to the solution of the diffusion equation (4-43) given'in Eq. (4-44): o(x,t) = ~ 2hrD t 2 -x /4 D t e (14) We can understand the form of this result in the following way. Diffusion is fundamentally a random-walk rocess. Each carrier takes a succession of stes whose average length is t, the meanfree ath, and each of these stes is equally likely to be in either the +x or -x direction. After N stes, the mean-square dislacement of a article from its initial osition is given by: ~xrms(t) ~ t IN (15) The individual article is equally likely to be dislaced in either the +x or -x direction, and all dislacements between ~x = 0 and ~x = Nt are ossible, so that ~xrms(t) reresents the width of a distribution for a large number of holes that all start off from x=o at t=o. This mean-square dislacement increases as the square
7 -7- root of t, since the number of stes is given by N ~ tit where c T C is the interval between collisions. Therefore: ~x (t) ~ t~ rms ~ t"2d t c (16) and the roortionality constant here is seen to be the diffusion coefficient defined in Eq. (6). The exact solution of Eq. (4-43) has recisely the form we exect. It is a Gaussian distribution given by Eq. (14) whose width sreads out with time according to the exression for ~x (t) derived here (\vithin a factor of 2 or so)., rms In the Haynes-Shockley exeriment, an electric field is alied along the bar in Fig so that the distribution created by diffusion is caused to drift underneath the detector ~x=l. The effect of the electric field may be included by letting x + " (x- J.lEt) in Eq. (4-44) or Eq. (14) to give a distribution centered about Recombination of the excess holes can be taken into account by simly multilying the entire distribution by the " -tit factoi"e, where T is the lifetime for minority holes in the. n-region. We note that the lifetime can vary greatly with material and imurity concentration, so that tyical values can lie within -3-9 a very wide range 10 s ~ T ~ 10 s, but T will always be long comared to the collision time TC. Finally, we return to the non-equilibrium steady-state distribution of Fig in which holes are injected into the n-region at x=o. The solution to the diffusion equation which describes
8 -8- this case is given in Eq. (4-36) : where L = /D T -x/l o(x) = 6(x=0) e (17) is known as the diffusion length. this result can also be understood very simly. The form of An excess hole which begins to diffuse into the n-region from x=o will, on the average, live for a minority carrier lifetime T before being destroyed by recombination with an electron. The average number of "stes" taken by a hole within the n-region is therefore N = The mean distance that these holes diffuse into the n- region can then be obtained aroximately using the random-walk formula: (18) Tyical values are L ~ 10 ~m to 100 ~m, but the diffusion length can sometimes lie outside this range. The exonential decay of o(x) over this distance L in Eq. '. (17) rere~ents an average distribution created by large numbers of holes as they diffuse into the n-region and recombine. This diffusion rocess roduces a current that may be calculated using Eq. ( 4) : D -x/l J (diff) = q -E 6 ( x=0)e L -. (19) This hole current falls off exonentially over a diffusion length L as the excess holes recombine. In order to reserve a steadystate, electrons must be fed in from the right "in Fig to
9 -9- relace those that are destroyed by recombination with the injected holes. At large x» L, the total electron current re quired is the same as the number of holes crossing at x=o: J (x» L ) n = J (x=o) D = q -E Ll(x=O) L (20) The concentration no = ND of electrons is high in the bulk n-region, so that this electron current at large x can be roduced by a very tiny elecric field imarting a very slow drift velocity to all of the electrons. The slow drift of electrons toward x=o just balances the recombination, and'kees the total current density constant and equal to the value in Eq. (20) throughout the entire n-region. Note that the total current is carried entirely by diffusion of minority carriers at x=o, and then converted to drift of majority carriers in the bulk over several diffusion lengths. This examle of minority carrier injection and diffusion should be studied carefully, since it rovides the basis for understanding the detailed oeration of a -n junction.
