condidering a forward bias n-p junction and reverse
bias n-p junction, which one produces a rectifying action? explain
how it produces the rectifying action
a) Draw the energy levels (including the Fermi levels) of a
non-degenerate p-n junction with a reverse bias of Vr. Draw the
hole and electron concentrations as well. b) If this pn junction is
used as a photodetector, what is the threshold wavelength of this
detector? Will lower or higher wavelengths be detected by this
detector?
(a) Describe the behaviour of positive and negative charges
within a p-n junction. Use a sketch/sketches (drawn by hand) to
support your description.
(b) Show your knowledge and understanding of the actions involved
with the following devices;
(i) A diode
(ii) A bipolar transistor
(iii) A MOSFET
(c) Use semiconductor theory to describe the movement of charge
carriers in each of the three devices given in Task (b).
(d) For each of the devices given in Task (b) make a...
Briefly explain the meaning of the statement,
"critical periods represent a one-way street." How do deficits or
excesses during these periods affect fetal growth and
development?
Elasticity a. Use two diagrams (one for Alberta, one for the
world) to explain why the following might be true: A drought around
the world raises the total revenue that farmers received from the
sale of grain, but a drought only in Albert reduces the total
revenue that Alberta farmers receive.
b. You have the following information about good X and good Y: •
Income elasticity of demand for good X: -3 • Cross-price elasticity
of demand for good X...
Sketch the energy band diagrams for metals, insulators and
semiconductors and explain the how they differ based on the
bandgap, density of states and conductivity.
1. Use two diagrams (one for Alberta, one for the world) to
explain why the following might be
true: A drought around the world raises the total revenue that
farmers received from the sale of
grain, but a drought only in Alberta reduces the total revenue that
Alberta farmers receive.
2. You have the following information about good X and good
Y:
• Income elasticity of demand for good X: -3• Cross-price
elasticity of demand for good X with respect...
