2 1. electrical properties 2
3 (1) electrical conduction in metals classical Model metallic bonds make free movement of valence electrons possible outer valence electrons are completely free to move between positive ion cores positive ion cores vibrate with greater amplitude with increasing temperature the motion of electrons are random and restricted in absence of electric field no net electron flow in presence of electric field, electrons attain directed drift velocity that is proportional to the applied field but in the opposite direction 3
4 Ohm s law electric current flow i is directly proportional to the applied voltage V and inversely proportional to resistance of the wire V i = R i: electric current (A) V: potential difference (V) R: resistance of wire (Ω) electric resistivity A ρ = R l l: length of the conductor A: cross-sectional area of the conductor electric conductivity σ = 1/ ρ 4
5 conductor σ > 10 7 (Ω m) -1 metals insulator σ ~ (Ω m) -1 polymer semiconductor Si, Ge ex. a wire whose diameter is 0.20 cm carries 20 A current, the maximum power is 4 W/m, calculate the minimum allowable conductivity of the wire P = iv =i 2 R R = ρ l / A σ = 1/ρ i 2 l (20 A) 2 (1 m) σ = = = (Ω m) -1 PA (4 W) π(0.001 m) 2 ex. Cu wire conducts 10A of current with maximum voltage drop of 0.4 V/m. what is the minimum diameter? R = V/i ρ = RA/ l = AV / i l σ = i l / AV (Ω m) -1 = (10 A)(1 m) / A (0.4 V) (10 A)(1 m) A = = m 2 (0.4 V) (Ω m) -1 d = 4 ( )/π = m microscopic Ohm's law J = E / ρ or J = σ E J: current density A/m 2 E: electric field V/m 5
6 drift velocity of electrons electrons are accelerated when electric field E is applied and collide with ion cores after a collision, they accelerate again electron velocity varies in a saw tooth manner drift velocity v d = μ E μ: electron mobility m 2 /(V s) the electron flow in metal wire depends on the number of electrons per unit volume, the electronic charge ( C), and the drift velocity of electrons the current density J = nev d direction of current flow is opposite to that of electrons 6
7 electrical resistivity ρ total = ρ T + ρ r ρ T thermal component elastic waves (phonons) generated due to vibration of electron core scatter electrons resistivity increases with temperature ρ T = ρ 0 o C (1+ α T T) ρ 0 o C: resistivity at 0 o C α T : coefficient of resistivity T: temperature of the metal 7
8 ex. calculate the electrical resistivity of Cu at 132 o C ρ T = ρ 0 o C (1+ α T T) = ( ) = Ω m ρ r residual component due to structural imperfections like dislocations, grain boundaries, impurity atoms ρ r is almost independent of temperature alloying increases resistivity addition of various elements to Cu 8
9 (2) energy-band model of electrical conduction valence electrons are delocalized, interact and interpenetrate each other sharply defined energy levels are broadened into wider regions called energy bands ex. Na has 1 valence electron (3s 1 ). there are N Na atoms, there are N distinct 3s 1 energy levels in 3s energy band energy bands Na is a good conductor since it has half filled outer 3s band, very little energy is required to 9 produce electron flow
10 energy-band diagrams for Na, Mg, and Al in insulators, electrons are tightly bound to the bonding atoms large energy gap E g separates lower filled valence band and upper empty conduction band to be available for conduction, the electron should jump the energy gap, which may as much as 6~7 ev (for diamond) 10
11 (3) intrinsic semiconductors semiconductors electrical conductivities are between good conductors and insulators. intrinsic semiconductors pure semiconductors and conductivities are determined by their inherent properties ex. Si and Ge sufficient energy is needed to excite valence electrons away from their bonding position bonding electron becomes a free conduction electron and leaves a hole behind both electrons and holes are charge carriers hole is attracted to negative terminal, electron to positive terminal 11
12 the motion of a hole in an electric field energy-band diagram for an intrinsic semiconductor such as pure Si (E g = 1.1 ev) quantitative relationship of electrical conduction current density J = nqv n * + pqv p * n: number of conduction electrons per unit volume p: number of conduction holes per unit volume q: absolute value of electron or hole charge (1.6 x C) 12 v n, v p : drift velocities of electrons and holes
13 J = σ E J nqv n * pqv p * σ = = + E E E v n /E: electron mobility μ n v p /E: hole mobility μ p σ = nqμ n + pqμ p for intrinsic semiconductor n = p = n i σ = n i q(μ n + μ p ) ex. calculate the number of Si atoms per m 3 (d = 2.33 Mg/m 3, atomic mass: 28.08) atoms g ( )( )( ) mol g/mol m 3 = atoms/m 3 ex. calculate the electrical resistivity of Si at 300 K σ = n i q(μ n + μ p ) = ( m -3 ) ( C) ( m 2 /V s) = Ω-1 m-1 ρ = 1/σ = Ω m 13
14 effect of temperature on intrinsic semiconductors the conduction band is completely empty at 0 o K at higher temperatures, valence electrons are excited to conduction bands conductivities increase with increasing temperature n i e -(E g E av )/kt n i : concentrations of electrons having energy to enter conduction band. E g : energy gap E av : average energy across gap k: Boltzmann's constant T: temperature E av = E g /2 n i e -(E g)/2kt σ = σ 0 e -(E g)/2kt σ 0 : constant depending on the mobility E g ln σ = ln σ 0-2kT E g can be determined from the slope of the plot of ln σ vs. 1/T for intrinsic semiconductor 14
15 ex. plot of ln σ vs. 1/T for Si ex. electrical resistivity of pure Si is Ω m at 27 o C, calculate its conductivity at 200 o C (E g = 1.1 ev, k = ev/k) E g ln σ = ln σ 0-2kT σ ev 1 1 ln = ( - ) σ ( ev/k) = σ 473 = e σ 300 = 2385(1/ ) = 1.04 Ω-1 m-1 15
16 (4) extrinsic semiconductors have impurity atoms ( ppm) that have different valance characteristics (i) n type extrinsic semiconductors impurities donate electrons for conduction ex. group VA atoms (P, As, Sb) added to Si only ev of energy is required to remove the excess electron from its parent nucleus 16
17 (ii) p-type extrinsic semiconductors group IIIA atoms when added to silicon, a hole is created since one of the bonding electrons is missing when electric field is applied, electrons from the neighboring bond move to the hole boron atom gets ionized and hole moves towards negative terminal B, Al, Ga provide acceptor level energy and are hence called acceptor atoms 17
18 doping impurity atoms (dopants) are deposited into silicon by diffusion at C (iii) effect of doping on carrier concentration the mass action law at constant temperature np = n 2 i n i : intrinsic concentration of carriers in a semiconductor and a constant at a given temperature n, p : concentration of electrons or holes since the semiconductor must be electrically neutral N a + n = N d + p N a and N d are concentrations of negative acceptor ions and positive donor ions in a n-type semiconductor, N a = 0 and n >> p hence n n N d p n = n i2 /n n n i2 /N d 18 for p-type semiconductor n p = n i2 /p p n i2 /N a
19 typical carrier concentrations in intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors Si at 300 K n i = carriers/m 3 for extrinsic Si doped with As at a typical concentration of impurity atoms/m 3 n n = electrons/m 3 p n = holes/m 3 ex. Si wafer doped with P atoms/m 3 calculate (a) the majority-carrier concentration, (b) the minority-carrier concentration, (c) the electrical resistivity of this n-type semiconductor at room temperature (assume complete ionization of the dopant atoms; and n i = m -3, μ n = m 2 /V s, μ p = m 2 /V s) (a) n n = electrons/m 3 (b) p n = ( m -3 ) 2 /10 21 m -3 = holes/m 3 (c) 1 1 ρ = = qn n μ n ( C)(0.135 m 2 /V s)(10 21 m -3 ) = Ω m 19
20 ex. P-doped Si wafer has an electrical resistivity of Ω mat 27 o C. assume μ n = m 2 /V s, μ p = m 2 /V s, (a) what is its majority-carrier concentration if complete ionization is assumed? (b) what is the ratio of P to Si atoms in this semiconductor? (a) this is an n-type semiconductor, the majoritycarrier is electron and the resistivity 1 1 ρ = hence n n = qn n μ n ρ qμ n 1 n n = ( Ω m)( C)(0.135 m 2 /V s) = electrons/m 3 (b) pure Si contains atoms/m 3 P/Si ratio = / = (iv) effect of total ionized impurity concentration as the concentration of impurities increase, mobility of carriers decrease 20
21 ex. Si is doped with B atoms/cm P atoms/cm 3 at 27 o C. Calculate (a) the equilibrium electron and hole concentrations, (b) the mobilities of electrons and holes, and (c) the electrical resistivity (n i = cm -3 ) (a) majority-carrier concentration p p N a N d = = holes/cm 3 minority-carrier concentration n p = n i2 /p p = ( ) 2 / = electrons/cm 3 (b) total impurity concentration = atoms/cm 3 check figure find μ n = 900 cm 2 /V s μ p = 300 cm 2 /V s (c) electrical resistivity 1 1 ρ = = qp p μ p ( C)(300 cm 2 /V s)( cm -3 ) = 5.2 Ω cm 21
22 (v) effect of temperature on electrical conductivity extrinsic range electrical conductivity increases with temperature as more and more impurity atoms are ionized exhaustion range temperature at which donor atom becomes completely ionized for n-type semiconductor saturation range acceptor atoms become completely ionized for p-type semiconductor beyond these ranges, temperature does not change conductivity substantially further increase in temperature results in intrinsic conduction becoming dominant and is called intrinsic range 22
23 to provide an exhaustion (or saturation) range at about room temperature is important since it provides temperature range that have essentially constant electrical conductivity ex. (a) As-doped Si (b) B-doped Si 23
24 (5) semiconductor devices (a) pn junction n-type and p-type silicon semiconductors are joined together formed by doping a single crystal of silicon first by n-type and then by p-type material majority carriers cross over the junction and recombine but the process stops later as electrons repelled by negative ions giving rise to depletion region under equilibrium conditions, there exists a barrier to majority carrier flow there is no net current flow 24
25 (b) biased an external voltage is applied to a pn junction reverse biased n-type is connected to the positive terminal of battery, electrons of n- type material and holes of p-type material move away from junction current resulting from majority carriers does not flow leakage current (of the order of μa) flows due to minority carriers 25
26 forward biased n-type is connected to the negative terminal and p-type to positive majority carriers are repelled to the junction and recombine and considerable current flows 26
27 (c) application of pn junction diode rectifier diodes converts alternating voltage into direct voltage (rectification) when AC signal is applied to diode, current flows only when p-region is positive and hence half way rectification is achieved signal can be further smoothed out by using other electronic devices breakdown diodes (zener diodes) in reverse bias, small leakage currents flow upon breakdown voltage is reached, reverse current increases rapidly electrons gain sufficient energy to knock more electrons from covalent bonds these are available for conduction in reverse bias 27
28 (d) bipolar junction transistor (BJT) BJT consists of two pn junctions occurring sequentially on a single crystal can serve as current amplifier ex. npn BJT emitter emits electrons base controls flow of charge (0.1mm thick) collector collects electrons emitter base junction is forward biased and collector base junction is reverse biased small base current can be used to control large collector current 28
29 (6) microelectronics thousands of transistors on a chip of Si about 5 mm 2 and 0.2 mm thick (a) microelectronic planar bipolar transistors ex. planar bipolar npn transistor relatively large island of n-type silicon is formed first in a p-type Si substrate smaller island of p and n type silicon are created on larger n type island 29
30 (b) microelectronic planar field-effect transistor MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) NMOS n-type MOSFET PMOS p-type MOSFET ex. NMOS overall structure cross-sectional view two islands of n-type silicon are created in a substrate of p-type silicon source the contact where electrons enter drain the contact where electrons leave gate third contact, a layer of polysilicon 30
31 no voltage is applied to the gate, only a few electrons are attracted to the drain when a positive voltage is applied to the gate, electrons will flow between source and drain if there is positive voltage difference between them MOSFET is capable of current amplification MOSFET technology is the basis for most LSI digital memory circuits 31

34 (ii) diffusion technique impurity atoms are diffused into Si wafers at about 1000 ~ 1100 o C thin silicon dioxide patterns serve as masks to prevent dopant atoms from penetrating into silicon high concentration of dopant is deposited near surface in predeposit step in drive-in diffusion step, the wafers are placed in high temperature furnace and necessary concentration of dopant atoms at particular depth is attained. 34
35 (iii) ion implantation technique carried out at room temperature dopant atoms are ionized and accelerated to high energies through a high potential difference of KV on striking, ions embed in Si photoresist or SiO 2 is used to mask desired regions damage to Si lattice is caused but can be healed by annealing 35
36 (iv) MOS integrated circuit fabrication step 1 deposition of SiN 4 by CVD boron ions are implanted to suppress unwanted conduction SiO 2 layer is grown in inactive regions step 2 SiN 4 is removed by etchants step 3 insulating layer is deposited on wafer by CVD step 4 Al is deposited on wafer step 5 protective layer is deposited on entire surface 36

40 as molecular mass increases energy band gap decreases and electron mobility increases increasing ionic bonding character energy band gap increases and electron mobility decreases gallium arsenide (GaAs) is the most important of all compound semiconductors advantages: higher mobility better radiation resistance ex. (a) calculate the intrinsic electrical conductivity of GaAs at room temperature (b) what fraction of the current is carried by the electrons in GaAs at 27 o C? (a) σ = n i q(μ n + μ p ) = ( )( )( ) = (Ω m) -1 (b) σ n n i qμ n = = = σ n i q(μ n + μ p )
