6 Preface This treatise on the subject An Elementary Approach on Solid State Devices contains comprehensive treatment of subject matter in a simple lucid and direct language. It covers the syllabus of various Indian universities. This book contains five modules which emphasis on an adaptive and systematic approach from introduction to mainstream applications It will be beneficial for students, researchers and academia s for a time bound and effective reading for easy understanding of the subject. All the five modules are saturated with much needed text supported by simple and self-explanatory figures and worked examples whenever required. This is a foundation core subject in Electronics and communication and many competitive examinations like GATE, IES etc. This book will be beneficial for preparing the subject in depth for such competitive objective and descriptive examinations. The author s thanks are due to his beloved parents and sister for extending all cooperation during preparation of the manuscript. I (Mr.G.Harikrishnan) take this opportunity to thank the management of IMPACT group of institutions for their wholehearted support especially to the founder chairman Dr.K.P.Mathulla for his inspiration and motivation. I (Dr.S.R.Boselin Prabhu) am grateful to my beloved friend Dr.E.Gajendran, Associate Professor, Sree Dattha Group of Institutions, Hyderabad because of whom I was enriched with the skill of writing books. Any suggestions for improvement of this book will be thankfully acknowledged and incorporated in the next edition Mr.G.Harikrishnan & Dr.S.R.Boselin Prabhu (Authors of the Book) v

16 Mr.G.Harikrishnan Module I Bonding Forces and Energy Bands in Solids The basic difference between the case of an electron in a solid and that of an electron in an isolated atom is that in the solid the electron has a range, or band, of available energies. The discrete energy levels of the isolated atom spread into bands of energies in the solid because in the solid the wave functions of electrons in neighboring atoms overlap, and an electron is not necessarily localized at a particular atom. The interaction of electrons in neighboring atoms of a solid serves the very important function of holding the crystal together. For example, alkali halides such as NaCl are typified by ionic bonding. Fig.1 An example of ionic bonding in NaCl In the NaCl lattice, each Na atom is surrounded by six nearest neighbor CI atoms, and vice versa. Four of the nearest neighbors are evident in the two-dimensional representation shown in Fig.1. The electronic structure of Na (Z = 11) is [Ne] 3s1, and CI (Z = 1
