What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...

Formed at the boundary between an N-type and P-type semiconductor is a P-N Junction which is created by doping a single crystal of semiconductor. The nature of the P-N junction is one of the crucial ...

If a semiconductor crystal is doped with n-type dopants in one region and with p-type dopants in another region, a p-n junction configuration is formed. p-n junctions are fundamental building units of ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

Widely used solid-state devices fabricated with inorganic semiconductors, including light-emitting diodes and solar cells, derive much of their function from the p–n junction. Such junctions lead to ...
