Conduction in Solids
• Review– Conductors (easily allow electrons or electrical
charge to move)– Insulators (resist electron and electrical charge
movement)– Electrons are only allowed to occupy certain
energy levels– Under most conditions, electrons are found in the
lowest available energy level (ground state)

Conduction in Solid
• What happens to the energy levels as atoms come close to one another?
• The energy levels are raised or lowered as they interfere with one another

• (a) the interatomic spacing between two atoms is reduced
• (b) the electron wave function of five atoms interact
• (c) in the formation of a continuous band of allowed energies the number of interacting atoms is very large.

Terms
• Forbidden Gaps: The bands of energy which no electrons possess
• Valence Band: The outermost band that contains electrons
• Conduction Band: The lowest energy band that is not filled to capacity
![Page 15: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conduction Band
• If a potential difference (voltage) is placed across a material, then the electrons are able to accelerate and gain energy– If the potential energy is large enough, the gap is
bridged and the electrons go from one atom to the next (current)
![Page 16: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How many free electrons?
• How many valence electrons determines that amount of free electrons– Sodium (1st Column, Alkali Metal) has one free
electron. It has 11 electrons total, but only 1 electron is in the valence band
– Most metals provide only 1 or 2 free electrons
![Page 17: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Insulator/Semiconductor/Conductor
• How big is the gap?– Insulator will be larger (typically 5 to 10 eV)– Semiconductor (1 eV or less)– Conductor (what gap?!)
![Page 18: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The values are for individual atoms
• As the atoms come together, the gaps between the bands reduces
• Reason: Electrons in different atoms push the other electrons closer
![Page 19: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Insulators
• At room temperature, no electrons have enough kinetic energy (as a result of their thermal energy) to jump the forbidden gap.
• Even small electric fields are usually not sufficient to cause them to conduct electricity
• Very HIGH ionization energies
![Page 20: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Semi-Conductors
• At room temperature, a few electrons are able to jump the forbidden gap
• A small electric field is able to make more electrons jump the gap, so the current increases
• As temperature increases, conductivity goes up so you have more current
![Page 21: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Metals
• Room temperature is more than enough energy to move electrons around. – What forbidden gap?! The electron goes and
pleases as he wants• Different than semi-conductors, increasing
temperature means less current due to increase in collisions
![Page 22: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Holes
• When an electron jumps, it leaves a positive hole where the electron used to be
![Page 23: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Holes
• An electron from another atom can jump over, but ultimately leaves a hole where he was– Musical Chairs
• The negative goes one way, positive other way
![Page 24: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Types of Semi-Conductors
• Intrinsic: Are pure and conduct electricity in very tiny quantities at room temperature (very high resistance)
• Extrinsic: Impurity atoms added which increase the conductivity by either adding more electrons (n-doping) or more holes (p-doping)
![Page 25: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
P-Doping and N-doping
• P = Add a hole (less electrons than your semi-conductor)
• N = Add an electron (more electrons)
![Page 26: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
P- Doping and N-Doping
![Page 27: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Periodic Table Connection
![Page 28: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How conductive do you want it?
• Vary the amount of impurities• Even just a few different atoms can change the
conductivity by factors as large as a 1000
![Page 29: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Thermistors
• Resistance depends highly on temperature– Used as a very sensitive thermometer– Used to compensate for temperature variations of
components in an electrical circuit– Used to measure power of light sources
![Page 30: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Diodes
• Consists of a joined p-doped and n-doped semiconductor
• Boundary between is called a pn-junction diode
![Page 31: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Diodes
• The free electrons on the n-side are attracted to the p-side (holes)
• Thus, the electrons move easily from the n-side to the p-side, but not the other way
![Page 32: Chapter 29 Solid State Electronics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56816588550346895dd84471/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Diodes
• Region in the middle with no charge carriers is called the depletion layer– So, two ends are great conductors with middle
being an insulator
