3 PN Junction When a p material is connected to an n-type material, a junction is formed Holes from p-type diffuse to n-type region Electrons from n-type diffuse to p-type region Through these diffusion processes, recombination takes place Some holes disappear from p-type Some electrons disappear from n-type A depletion region consisting of bound charges is thus formed Charges on both sides cause electric field potential = V o ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 3
4 PN Junction Potential acts as barrier that must be overcome for holes to diffuse into the n-region and electrons to diffuse into the p-region Open circuit: No external current Junction built-in voltage From principle of detailed balance and equilibrium we get: NAN Vo VT ln 2 ni For Si, V o is typically 0.6V to 0.8V Charge equality in depletion region gives: qx AN qx AN p A n A: cross-section of junction x p : width in p side x n : width in n side s :silicon permittivity F/m s o x x 2 s 1 1 W x x V q NA N n p N N dep n p o A ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 4

6 PN Junction under Reverse Bias When a reverse bias is applied Transient occurs during which depletion capacitance is charged to new bias voltage Increase of space charge region iffusion current decreases rift current remains constant Barrier potential is increased A steady state is reached After transient: steady-state reverse current = I S -I (I is very small) reverse current ~ I S ~10-15 A Under reverse bias the current in the diode is negligible ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 6

10 iode equation: Forward-Biased PN Junction S I I e V/ nv T 1 I S Aqn 2 p n i LN p LN n A since n 2 i is a strong function of temperature; thus I s is a strong function of temperature n has a value between 1 and 2. iodes made using standard IC process have n=1; discrete diodes have n=1 In general, assume n=1 / T If V V, we can use VV T I ISe ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 10
11 iode Characteristics Three distinct regions The forward-bias region, determined by v > 0 The reverse-bias region, determined by v < 0 The breakdown region, determined by v < -V ZK ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 11
12 iode I-V Relationship Breakdown Electric field strong enough in depletion layer to break covalent bonds and generate electron-hole pairs. Electrons are then swept by E-field into the n- side. Large number of carriers for a small increase in junction voltage ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 12
13 The iode + I V - iode Properties Two-terminal device that conducts current freely in one direction but blocks current flow in the opposite direction. The two electrodes are the anode which must be connected to a positive voltage with respect to the other terminal, the cathode in order for current to flow. ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 13

23 iode Circuit Example 1 Assume both diodes are on; then V 0 and V 0 I B ma 10 At node B IEAL iodes 0 ( 10) I 1 I 1 ma, V 0V 5 1 is conducting as originally assumed ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 23
24 IEAL iodes iode Circuit Example 2 Assume both diodes are on; then 10 0 I2 2 ma 5 At node B 0 ( 10) I 2 I 1mAwrong 10 original assumption is not correct assume 1 is off and 2 is on V B I V 0 and V 0 2 B 10 ( 10) ma V 1 is reverse biased as assumed ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 24
25 Example The diode has a value of I S = ma at room temperature (300 o K) (a) Approximate the current I assuming the voltage drop across the diode is 0.7V (b) Calculate the accurate value of I (c) If I S doubles for every 6 o C increase in temperature, repeat part (b) if the temperature increases by 40 o C (a) The resistor will have an approximate voltage of = 5.3 V. Ohm s law then gives a current of I ma (b) The current through the resistor must equal the diode current; so we have I 6 V 2 ( resistor current) VV / I I T Se diodecurrent ( ) ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 25
26 6 V 2 10 e 12 V /0.026 Example (cont d) Nonlinear equation must be solved iteratively Solution: V = V Using this value of the voltage, we can calculate the current I 6 V ma When the temperature changes, both I s and V T will change. Since V T =kt/q varies directly with T, the new value is: V T 340 (340) VT(300) ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 26
27 Example (cont d) The value of I s doubles for each 6 o C increase, thus the new value of I s is 40/6 10 IS(340) IS(300) ma The equation for I is then Solving iteratively, we get I 6 V e 2 10 V / V 0.640V and I 2.68 ma ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 27
28 Example Two diodes are connected in series as shown in the figure with I s1 =10-16 A and I s2 =10-14 A. If the applied voltage is 1 V, calculate the currents I 1 and I 2 and the voltage across each diode V 1 and V 2. The diode equations can be written as: I V1 / VT V2 I e / VT 1 S1 I I e 2 S2 S1 1 2 T ln 0.12 IS 2 V 1 V2 1 from whichv V V I I I V1V2 S1 V I 1 e T I S2 2 Using KVL, we get from which V V and V V 1 I 10 e 0.22 A= I / ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 28

30 iodes as Voltage Regulators Objective Provide constant dc voltage between output terminals Load current changes c power supply changes Take advantage of diode I-V exponential behavior Big change in current correlates to small change in voltage ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 30
31 Voltage Regulator - Example Assume n=2 and calculate % change caused by a ±10% change in power-supply voltage (a) with no load (b) with 1-k load I r Nominal value of current is: d ma 1 Incremental resistance for each diode: nvt I 7.9 Resistance for all 3 diodes: r 3r d 18.9 Voltage change r v o mv 18.5 mv 0.9% rr ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 31
32 Voltage Regulator Example (con t) When 1k load is connected, it draws a current of 2.1 ma resulting in a decrease in voltage across the 3 diodes given by v 2.1r o v o mv ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 32
33 iode as Rectifier While applied source alternates in polarity and has zero average value, output voltage is unidirectional and has a finite average value or a dc component ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 33
34 iode as Rectifier v s is a sinusoid with 24-V peak amplitude. The diode conducts when v s exceeds 12 V. The conduction angle is 2 where is given by 24cos The conduction angle is 120 o, or one-third of a cycle. The peak value of the diode current is given by Id A The maximum reverse voltage across the diode occurs when v s is at its negative peak: 24+12=36 V ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 34
35 Half-Wave Rectifier ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 35
36 Full-Wave Rectifier ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 36
37 Bridge Rectifier ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 37
38 Bridge Rectifier Properties Uses four diodes. v o is lower than v s by two diode drops. Current flows through R in the same direction during both half cycles. The peak inverse voltage (PIV) of each diode: PIV v 2v v v v s s ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 38
39 Peak Rectifier Filter capacitor is used to reduce the variations in the rectifier output ECE 342 Jose Schutt Aine 39
