1(A) CHARACTERISTICS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DIODE

AIM:
To study the PN junction characteristics under the forward and reverse bias.

2 Ammeter (0-100)A 1
3 Voltmeter (0-1)V 1
4 Diode IN4001 1
5 Resistor 1K 1
6 Bread board 1
7 Wires

THEORY:
A PN junction diode is a two terminal junction device. It conducts only in one direction
(only on forward biasing).
Forward Bias:
On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the applied
potential exceeds the barrier potential the charge carriers gain sufficient energy to cross
the potential barrier and hence enter the other region. The holes, which are majority
carriers in the P-region, become minority carriers on entering the N-regions, and electrons,
which are the majority carriers in the N-region, become minority carriers on entering the
P-region. This injection of Minority carriers results in the current flow, opposite to the
direction of electron movement.
REVERSE BIAS:

On reverse biasing, the majority charge carriers are attracted towards the terminals
due to the applied potential resulting in the widening of the depletion region. Since the
charge carriers are pushed towards the terminals no current flows in the device due to
majority charge carriers. There will be some current in the device due to the thermally

generated minority carriers. The generation of such carriers is independent of the applied
potential and hence the current is constant for all increasing reverse potential. This current
is referred to as Reverse Saturation Current (IO) and it increases with temperature. When
the applied reverse voltage is increased beyond the certain limit, it results in breakdown.
During breakdown, the diode current increases tremendously.

THEORY:

A properly doped crystal diode, which has a sharp breakdown voltage, is known as zener
diode.
FORWARD BIAS:

On forward biasing, initially no current flows due to barrier potential. As the applied
potential increases, it exceeds the barrier potential at one value and the charge carriers
gain sufficient energy to cross the potential barrier and enter the other region. the holes
,which are majority carriers in p-region, become minority carriers on entering the N-
regions and electrons, which are the majority carriers in the N-regions become minority
carriers on entering the P-region. This injection of minority carriers results current,
opposite to the direction of electron movement.

U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE
REVERSE BIAS:

When the reverse bias is applied due to majority carriers small amount of current
(ie) reverse saturation current flows across the junction. As the reverse bias is increased to
breakdown voltage, sudden rise in current takes place due to zener effect.

ZENER EFFECT:

Normally, PN junction of Zener Diode is heavily doped. Due to heavy doping the
depletion layer will be narrow. When the reverse bias is increased the potential across the
depletion layer is more. This exerts a force on the electrons in the outermost shell. Because
of this force the electrons are pulled away from the parent nuclei and become free
electrons. This ionization, which occurs due to electrostatic force of attraction, is known as
Zener effect. It results in large number of free carriers, which in turn increases the reverse
saturation current.
PROCEDURE:

FORWARD BIAS:

1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.

2. Vary the power supply in such a way that the readings are taken in steps of 0.1V.

THEORY:
A BJT is a three terminal two junction semiconductor device in which the
conduction is due to both the charge carrier. Hence it is a bipolar device and it amplifier the
sine waveform as they are transferred from input to output. BJT is classified into two types
NPN or PNP. A NPN transistor consists of two N types in between which a layer of P is
sandwiched. The transistor consists of three terminal emitter, collector and base. The
emitter layer is the source of the charge carriers and it is heartily doped with a moderate
cross sectional area. The collector collects the charge carries and hence moderate doping
and large cross sectional area. The base region acts a path for the movement of the charge
carriers. In order to reduce the recombination of holes and electrons the base region is
lightly doped and is of hollow cross sectional area. Normally the transistor operates with
the EB junction forward biased.

THEORY:
In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out. The emitter
is given the input and the output is taken across the collector. The current gain of this
configuration is less than unity. The voltage gain of CB configuration is high. Due to the high
voltage gain, the power gain is also high. In CB configuration, Base is common to both input and
output. In CB configuration the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a constant VCB.
Initially let VCB = 0 then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased diode and the
characteristics resembles that of a diode. Where VCB = +VI (volts) due to early effect IE
increases and so the characteristics shifts to the left. The output characteristics relate IC and
VCB for a constant IE. Initially IC increases and then it levels for a value IC = IE. When IE is
increased IC also increases proportionality. Though increase in VCB causes an increase in ,
since is a fraction, it is negligible and so IC remains a constant for all values of VCB once it
levels off.

THEORY:
FET is a voltage operated device. It has got 3 terminals. They are Source, Drain &
Gate. When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the pn junctions are
reverse biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is more lightly doped than the
p type gate, so the depletion regions penetrate deeply in to the channel. The result is that
the channel is narrowed, its resistance is increased, & ID is reduced. When the negative bias
voltage is further increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff
completely.

THEORY:
The MOS (metal-oxide- semiconductor) transistor (or MOSFET) is the basic building
block of most computer chips, as well as of chips that include analog and digital circuits. In
this lab, we will work with what is called an n-channel MOS transistor. The internal
structure and operation of this device, as well as of its complement, the p-channel MOSFET
are studied in semiconductor device courses. Here we will concern ourselves only with
external i-v behavior.

A common symbol for the n-channel MOS transistor is shown in Fig. 3.3(a). Of the
terminals shown, the ones we will focus on are the source, the drain, and the gate. In the
transistor we will be working with in this lab, the fourth terminal, labeled body in Fig.
3.3(a), is not accessible externally; rather, it is internally connected to the source, as
shown by the broken line. For simplicity, then, we will use the symbol shown in Fig. 3.3
(b).

25
U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE
To study the MOS transistor, we can connect two external voltage sources to it, as
shown in Fig.3.5. These provide the drain-source voltage vDS and the gate-source voltage
vGS. The voltage vDS may cause a drain-to-source current iDS as shown, provided that there
is a path for this current from the drain (through the device) to the source. Whether such a
path exists or not depends on the value of vGS. For small values of vGS, no such path is
established within the device, and iDS is zero. The device then looks like an open circuit
between the drain and the source. For a sufficiently high vGS, an internal current path,
called a channel, is established between the drain and the source. Now a current iDS can
flow. The precise value of vGS determines how easy it is for the channel to conduct the
current; the higher the vGS value, the easier such conduction is and the larger the value of
iDS, other things being equal. For a given vGS, the value of iDS will also depend on vDS and
will tend to increase with the latter.

PROCEDURE:


1. Hook up the circuit of Fig. 3.5. This circuit will be used in the following steps to
investigate the i-v characteristics of the n-channel MOSFET. The chip used in this
experiment is a CD4007, containing six MOSFETs. We will use only one of them, as
shown in the pin assignment in Fig. 3.4















Fig 3.4
Pin Diagram

2. Set vGS = 5 V Measure the drain current iDS, versus the drain-source voltage, vDS, from
0 to 5 V Make sure you take measurements at a sufficient number of vDS values since
you will later need to plot iDS versus vDS. Include a point at vDS = 0.1 V for later use.

3. Repeat the entire step 2 for vGS = 3 V and vDS = 1 V.


4. With vDS = 5 V, determine the value of vGS at which the current iDS becomes
negligible; assume that for our purposes this means 5 A. This value of vGS is
close to the so-called threshold voltage of the transistor, and it is positive for an
"enhancement mode" MOSFET, which is what we are working with here.

5. Using the data you have collected in steps 2 and 3, plot a family of curves for the
drain current, iDS, versus the drain-source voltage, vDS from 0 to 5 V, with vGS as a

26
U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE
parameter. Use a single set of vDS - iDS axes for this plot. There should be one curve
for each vGS value (1 V, 3 V, and 5 V) on this family of curves. Label each curve with

THEORY:

A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a semiconductor device that acts as a true
electronic switch. It can change the alternating current in to direct current. It can
control the amount of power fed to the load. Thus the SCR combines the features of
rectifier and a transistor. If the supply voltage is less than the break over voltage, the
gate will open (IG = 0). Then increase the supply voltage from zero, a point is reached
when the SCR starts conducting. Under this condition, the voltage across the SCR
suddenly drop and most of the supply voltage appears across the load resistance
RL.If proper gate current is made to flow the SCR can close at much smaller supply
voltage.
PROCEDURE:
The connections are made as per in the circuit diagram.
First by varying RPS 2 then gate current (IG) is kept constant.
The voltage between anode and cathode is increased in step by step by
varying the RPS 1.
The corresponding anode current (IA) is noted.
The process is repeated for two more constant value of IG, the readings are tabulated.

THEORY:
UJT(Double base diode) consists of a bar of lightly doped n-type silicon with a small
piece of heavily doped P type material joined to one side. It has got three terminals. They
are Emitter(E), Base1(B1),Base2(B2).Since the silicon bar is lightly doped, it has a high
resistance & can be represented as two resistors, rB1 & rB2. When VB1B2 = 0, a small
increase in VE forward biases the emitter junction. The resultant plot of VE & I E is simply
the characteristics of forward biased diode with resistance. Increasing VEB1 reduces the
emitter junction reverse bias. When VEB1 = VrB1 there is no forward or reverse bias. & IE =
0. Increasing VEB1 beyond this point begins to forward bias the emitter junction. At the
peak point, a small forward emitter current is flowing. This current is termed as peak
current( IP ). Until this point UJT is said to be operating in cutoff region. When IE increases
beyond peak current the device enters the negative resistance region. In which the
resistance rB1 falls rapidly & VE falls to the valley voltage.Vv. At this point IE = Iv. A further
increase of IE causes the device to enter the saturation region.

THEORY:

A silicon photodiode is a solid state light detector that consists of a shallow
diffused P-N junction with connections provided to the outside world. When the top
surface is illuminated, photons of light penetrate into the silicon to a depth determined by
the photon energy and are absorbed by the silicon generating electron-hole pairs.

The electron-hole pairs are free to diffuse (or wander) throughout the bulk of the
photodiode until they recombine. The average time before recombination is the minority
carrier lifetime.

At the P-N junction is a region of strong electric field called the depletion region.
It is formed by the voltage potential that exists at the P-N junction. Those light generated
carriers that wander into contact with this field are swept across the junction. If an external
connection is made to both sides of the junction a photo induced current will flow as long
as light falls upon the photodiode. In addition to the photocurrent, a voltage is produced
across the diode. In effect, the photodiode functions exactly like a solar cell by generating a
current and voltage when exposed to light.

THOERY:
The photo transistor is a 3 terminal device which gives an electrical
current as output if an input light excitation is provided. It works in reverse bias.
When reverse biased along with the reverse bias current ICO, the light current IL is
also added to the total output current. The amount of current flow depends on the
input light intensity given as excitation. Phototransistor is basically a photodiode
with amplification and operates by exposing its base region to the light source.
Phototransistor light sensors operate the same as photodiodes except that they can
provide current gain and are much more sensitive than the photodiode with
currents are 50 - 100 times greater than that of the standard photodiode.
Phototransistors consist mainly of a bipolar NPN transistor with the collector-base
PN-junction reverse-biased. The phototransistors large base region is left
electrically unconnected and uses photons of light to generate a base current which
in turn causes a collector to emitter current to flow.

THEORY:
In full-wave rectifier current flows through the load in the same direction for both
half cycles of input AC voltage .This can be achieved with two diodes working alternatively.
During the +ve half cycle one diode conducts and supplies current to the load. During the
negative half cycle the other diode conducts and current flows through the load in the same
direction. Thus the full-wave rectifier produces continuous pulsating DC output.

THEORY:
Circuits that maintain power supply voltages or current output within specified limits, or
tolerances are called Regulators. They are designated as dc voltage or dc current regulators,
depending on their specific application.
Voltage regulator circuits are additions to basic power supply circuits, which are made up
of rectifier and filter sections (Fig 8.1). The purpose of the voltage regulator is to provide
an output voltage with little or no variation. Regulator circuits sense changes in output
voltages and compensate for the changes






Fig 8.1
Basic Voltage regulator Block Diagram

There are two types of voltage regulators. Basic voltage regulators are classified as


V E L T E C H D R . R R & D R S R T E C H N I C A L U N I V E R S I T Y

45
U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE
either Series or Shunt, depending on the location or position of the regulating element(s) in
relation to the circuit load resistance. Fig 2 illustrates these two basic types of voltage
regulators. Broken lines have been used in the figure to highlight the difference between
the series and shunt regulators.


















Fig 8.2
Shunt and Series regulators


The schematic drawing in view B is that of a series regulator. It is called series
regulator because the regulating device is connected in series with the load resistance. Fig
8.2 illustrates the principle of series voltage regulation. From the figure it is clear that the
regulator is in series with the load resistance (RL) and that the fixed resistor (RS) is in
series with the load resistance. You already know the voltage drop across affixed resistor
remains constant unless the current flowing through it varies (increases or decreases).

The schematic for a typical series voltage regulator is shown in Fig8.3. Notice that this
regulator has a NPN transistor 2N3904 in place of the variable resistor found in Fig 8.2.
Because the total load current passes through this transistor, it is sometimes called a pass
transistor. Other components, which make up the circuit, are the current limiting resistor
of 200 and the Zener diode of 5.6V
Recall that a Zener diode is a diode that block current until a specified voltage is
applied. Remember also that the applied voltage is called breakdown, or Zener voltage.
When the Zener voltage is reached, the Zener diode conducts from its anode to its cathode
(with the direction of the arrow).

46
U3ECB04 SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND CIRCUITS LAB III SEM ECE
In this voltage regulator, Transistor has a constant voltage applied to its base. This
voltage is often called the reference voltage. As the change in the circuit output voltage
occur, they are sensed at the emitter of the transistor producing a corresponding change in
the forward bias of the transistor. In other words, transistor compensates by increasing or
decreasing its resistance in order to change the circuit voltage division.

CIRCUIT OPERATION:
CASE 1 : when input voltage is constant while Load varies.

Here NPN Transistor used in series controls the amount of the input voltage that gets to the
output and zener diode provides the reference voltage. The zener establishes the value of
the base voltage for transistor. Keep in mind the polarities of different voltages, they are
related by the equation

VL + VBE - V z = 0 Kirchoff's voltage law
Therefore VBE = VZ -VL Here VZ is fixed

The output voltage across load will equal the zener voltage minus a 0.7-volt
drop across the forward biased base-emitter junction of transistor, or 4.9V (5.6 - 0.7).
When current demand is increased by decreasing RL, VL tends to decrease. It will increase
VBE because VZ is fixed. This will increase forward bias of the transistor thereby increasing
its level of conduction. This will lead to decrease in the collector-emitter resistance of the
transistor which will slightly increase the input current to compensate for decrease in RL
so that VL = ILRL will remain at constant value.
CASE 2: when input voltage varies while Load remains constant.

When the input voltage increases, output voltage across increases momentarily. This
momentarily deviation or variation, from the required regulated output voltage of 4.9 volts
is a result of a rise in the input voltage. Since the base voltage of transistor is held at 5.6V by
zener, that's why the forward bias of transistor decreases. Because this bias voltage is less
than the normal 0.7 volts, the resistance of transistor increases, thereby increasing the
voltage drop across the transistor.
This voltage drop restores the output voltage to the required regulated voltage of 4.9V.

5 Transistor 2N3904 1
6 Bread board 1
7 Wires

THEORY:
CIRCUIT OPERATION:
Case 1: when input voltage is constant while Load varies.
Since VZ is fixed, any decrease or increase in VL will have a corresponding effect on VBE.
Suppose, VL decreases, then as seen from the above relation VBE also decreases.
As a result, IB decreases, hence IC ( = IB) decreases, thereby decreasing I and hence VR
(=IR). Consequently, VL increases because at all times
Vin = VR + VL or VL = Vin - VR
From the above description it is concluded that when by any reason VL decreases VR also
decreases thereby keeping VL constant.
Similarly, when by any reason VL increases VR also increases thereby keeping VL constant.

Case 2: when input voltage varies while Load remains constant.
When the input voltage increases, output voltage across RL also increases momentarily.
This momentarily deviation or variation, from the required regulated output voltage of 6.3
volts is a result of a rise in the input voltage. This increases forward bias of transistor.
Recall that the voltage drop across Zener remains constant at 5.6V. Since the output voltage
is composed of the Zener voltage and the base-emitter voltage, the output voltage
momentarily increases. At this time, the increase in the forward bias of transistor lowers
the resistance of the transistor allowing more current to flow through it. Since this current
must also pass through R, there is also an increase in the voltage drop across this resistor.
Due to increase in this voltage drop across R, voltage across VL remains close to the
required regulated value of output voltage.

THEORY:

When sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal waveforms are applied to non linear networks
consisting one nonlinear device such as diode or transistor the resultant output waveform
may be different from the i/p waveform. Hence the nonlinear circuit said to shape the i/p
voltage waveform. This is called non linear wave shaping.

The clipping circuit may be defined as a circuit that limits the amplitude of a voltage
by removing the signal above or below the reference voltage. Either +ive side or
ive side or both sides of the waveform may be clipped. Clipping circuits are also known as
voltage or current limiters.

The diode clipper circuits are classified according to the placement of the diode in
the circuit as a series diode clipper or shunt diode clipper.

SHUNT DIODE CLIPPERS:

i) WITH POSITIVE BIAS CLIPPERS:

Assuming the diode used is an ideal the shunt diode clipper with +ve bias is shown
in the figure. The diode is forward biased only when Vi > Vr as the cathode is at the
potential of Vr. To make the diode forward bias the potential at the cathode must be
greater than Vr.

During the +ve half cycle Vi>Vr the diode acts as a short circuit and o/p voltage is
equals to the reference voltage Vr. When Vi <Vr the diode is reverse bias and the total i/p
voltage Vi appears across the open circuit o/p terminals as shown in the figure.

ii) WITH NEGATIVE BIAS CLIPPERS:

Assuming the diode used is an ideal in the shunt clippers with ve bias is shown in
the figure. The diode is forward bias during ve half cycle when Vi<Vr during this period
diode acts as a short circuit and the o/p voltage equals to the reference voltage Vr.

During complete +ve half cycle as well as during ve half cycle when Vi > Vr the
diode is reverse biased and it acts as a open circuit. Therefore Vi appears across open
circuit terminals of the o/p circuit.

SERIES DIODE CLIPPERS:

Assuming the diode used is an ideal the series diode clippers with +ve bias as shown in the
figure, The diode conducts during ve half cycle as well as during +ve half cycle when Vi<Vr
as the anode of the diode is at the potential Vr. During this conduction the current flows
through the resistor when an o/p voltage appears across the open circuited o/p terminals
which is equal to Vi . During +ve half cycle when Vi >Vr the diode is reverse biased no
current flows through the resistor and the o/p voltage equal to the reference voltage Vr.

Assuming the diode used is an ideal one the series diode clipper with +ve bias is
shown in the figure. The diode conducts only when Vi >Vr as the cathode is at the potential
of Vr. To make diode forward bias anode potential must be greater than Vr. During +ve half
cycle when Vi > Vr the diode is forward bias and the current flows through the diode as
well as resistor. An o/p voltage appears across the open circuit output terminals which are
equal to Vi. During ve half cycle as well as during +ve half cycle when Vi<Vr the diode is
reverse bias and no current flows through the diode , hence through the resistor . Thus o/p
voltage equals to the reference voltage Vr.

UNBIASED SHUNT CLIPPERS:

During the +ve half cycle the diode is forward biased and diode acts as a short
circuit for the i/p signal. Therefore o/p voltage is zero. During ve half cycle the diode is
reverse biased and the diode acts as an open circuit. Thus Vi=Vr . During ve half cycle the
diode is forward bias and acts as a short circuit for the i/p signal. Therefore o/p is equal to
zero. During +ve half cycle the diode is reverse biased and the diode acts as an open circuit
thus the o/p voltage = i/p voltage.

THEORY:
Clamping circuits are circuits, which are used to clamp or fix the extremity of a
periodic wave form to some constant reference level. Clamping circuits may be one way
clamps or two way clamps.

The clamping circuits only changes the dc level of the input signal .It does not affect
its shape. Clamping circuits may be positive voltage clamping circuits or negative voltage
clamping circuits. In positive clamping, the negative extremity of the wave form is at the
reference level and the entire wave form appears above the reference level. i.e. the output
wave form is positively clamped with reference to the reference level. In negative clamping
the positive extremity of the wave form is fixed at the reference level and the entire wave
form appears below the reference voltage. i.e. the output wave form is negatively clamped
with reference to the reference level.

The capacitors are essential in the clamping circuits. The difference between the
clipping and clamping circuits is that while the clipper clips off an unwanted portion of
the input wave form, the clipper simply clamps the maximum positive or negative peak

Load-Line Analysis - Output Side
Returning to the circuit, observe that VCC and RC form a Thevenin equivalent, with
output variables IC and V CE. Thus we can plot this load line on the transistor output
characteristics, because neither VCC nor RC are time-varying, this load line is fixed

1. The collector-emitter operating point is given by the intersection of the load line and
the appropriate base current curve. When Vin = 0, IB = IBQ, and the quiescent
point is ICQ, VCEQ. At Vin max , IB = IB max , and the operating point is IC max, VCE
min. At Vin min, IB = IB min, and the operating point is IC min , VCE max .
2. If the total change in VCE is greater than total change in Vin, we have an amplifier

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the circuit shown in Figure(3)
2. With vin= 0, vary the VBB to obtain the IC according to the Table (1). Then record
the values of the VCE.
3. Set the input voltage (vin) to the value that obtain the maximum swing on the output
voltage (vCE).when the operating point in the middle of the load line.
4. Vary the biasing voltage VBB to obtain the IC = (2, 5 and 8) mA. Then plot the output
