Chapter 1: Semiconductor diodes and application circuits
1. Semiconductor Basics
Covalent bond structure: the atomic structure of a single crystal formed by purification of elements such as silicon
Conductive properties: doping properties, thermal properties, photosensitive properties
Intrinsic semiconductor: a completely pure, structurally intact semiconductor crystal (free electrons and holes are generated due to thermal effects/intrinsic excitations)
Magazine Semiconductor
N-type semiconductor
Incorporation of pentavalent elements such as P (donor impurity)
Free electrons are majority carriers and holes are minority carriers
Donor impurities provide electrons, positively charged, positive ions
P-type semiconductor
Incorporation of trivalent elements such as B (acceptor impurity)
Free electrons are minority carriers, holes are majority carriers
The hole of the acceptor impurity captures the electron and is negatively charged, a negative ion.
PN junction
P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors are made on a silicon plate using different processes, and a thin layer with special physical properties is formed at the interface. Stable space charge region, high resistance region, depletion layer
Formation: concentration difference - diffusion movement of multicarriers - magazine ions form a space charge region - the space charge region forms an internal electric field (the internal electric field promotes the drift of minority carriers and prevents the diffusion of multicarriers) - reaches dynamic balance (diffusion current = drift current, the total current is 0)
One-way conductivity
Forward voltage (forward bias) Up>Un: The external electric field weakens the internal electric field, promotes the diffusion of majority carriers, and hinders the drift of minority carriers. The space charge area becomes narrower and the PN junction has low resistance (the internal electric field points from positive ions to negative ions)
Reverse voltage (reverse bias) Up<Un: The external electric field strengthens the internal electric field, hindering the diffusion of majority carriers and promoting the drift of minority carriers. The space charge region becomes wider and the PN junction becomes highly resistive.
Current equation (not important): Ut=26mV at room temperature
Voltampere characteristics
Forward conduction: overcoming dead zone voltage 0.5/0.1V; conduction voltage 0.7/0.2V
reverse cutoff
Reverse breakdown: breakdown voltage Ubr
capacitive effect
Barrier capacitance Cb: formed by changes in space charge region
Diffusion capacitance Cd: majority carriers are accumulated during the diffusion process.
Junction capacitance: Cj=Cb Cd. Ignore low frequencies and consider high frequencies
2. Semiconductor diodes
semiconductor structure
Semiconductor diode characteristic curves and parameters
Maximum rectified current If: the maximum forward average current allowed to pass through the conductor diode during long-term operation. If it exceeds the limit, it will be easily damaged.
Reverse breakdown voltage Ubr
Maximum reverse working voltage Urm=1/2Ubr
Reverse current Ir: leakage current, saturated leakage current is Is
Maximum operating frequency fm: it takes time for the diode to switch states
Interelectrode capacitance
DC resistance: DC power supply. Rd=Udq/Idq
Microvariable resistance: rd=Ut/Idq (Ut=26mV)

Diode application circuit analysis
Rectifier circuit: converts the input bipolar voltage into a unipolar output. Use ideal models. A diode acts as a switch and conducts electricity in one direction.
Limiting circuit: Use constant voltage drop model. The diode has one-way conductivity and the voltage remains unchanged after conduction. (Analysis method: Find a point to ground; disconnect the diode and analyze the voltage at both ends; then discuss whether it is on or off and the voltage to be found)
Switch circuit: The conduction and cutoff of the diode is equivalent to the on or off of the switch, thereby realizing some logical relationships (analysis method: first assume that it is on or off; discuss the voltage at both ends; whether the assumption is true; find the voltage to be found)
4. Special diodes
Zener diode
The breakdown state voltage of the voltage regulator tube is constant at Ubr=Uz. During reverse breakdown, when the current changes within a wide range, only a small voltage change is caused.
Application circuit
The function of the resistor: current limiting function, protecting the voltage regulator tube; when the input voltage or load current changes, through the change of voltage drop on the resistor, the error signal is taken out to adjust the working current of the voltage regulator tube, thereby stabilizing the voltage.
Analysis method: Assume that a steady voltage state is reached; compare the voltages at both ends.
