28

Group V element replaces a Group IV atom so there is an extra single electron, mostly in conduction band, less in valence band
29

Describe the PN junction mechanism
2 pieces of silicon, one of n type and the other p type One has free e- while the other has holes e- and h+ diffuse and cancel out, eat each other to create depleted region
32
What is the depleted region?
filling holes makes negative ion and leaves behind positive ions on the n side coulomb force prevents migration
33
What is forward bias?
applied voltage assist e- in overcoming Coulomb barrier of space charge in depletion region
34
What is reverse bias?
applied voltage impedes e- flow across the junction, creating a larger depletion region

Reverse current is much smaller than forward current
36
What is MosFET?
a type of transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals
37
What is the structure of a MosFET?
2 small islands of p-type Si that are created within a substance of n-type Si Source and Drain: islands are contacted by metal electrodes to make electrical connection to apply external bias voltage Gate Oxide: an insulating layer of SiO2 is formed by surface oxidation of Si Gate Terminal: metal contact on the surface of gate oxide
38
Describe n-type MosFET
No gate: depletion region between the P and N regions, at least one region is reversed, no current Positive Gate: induce negative charge on opposite side of the gate oxide, opening up a conductive n-channel between the two n-type islands, this turns it on p-type: needs a negative gate
39
What is the eV to wavelength conversion?
1 eV = 1.6*10^-19 J
40

41
What is (Photo-) Luminescence?
material absorbs light at one frequency and emits it at another lower frequency emitted photons are generated by electron transitions visible light is emitted when e- falls back to lower energy state is 1.8 eV < hv < 3.1 eV
42

delta time < 1 second - Fluorescence | delta time > 1 second - Luminescence
43

number of free electrons in the conduction band and the number of holes in the valence band
44

Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance: confinement of a surface plasmon in a nanoparticle of size comparable to or smaller than wavelength of light used to excite the plasmon shape defines the resonance frequency
72
