Semiconductor Electronics

Law of Mass Action in Semiconductors
Relates the equilibrium concentrations of electrons and holes to the intrinsic carrier concentration at a given temperature.
Electrical Conductivity of Semiconductors
Gives the total electrical conductivity of a semiconductor in terms of electron and hole densities and their mobilities.
Band Gap and Threshold Wavelength
Gives the maximum wavelength of incident photons capable of exciting electron-hole pairs across a bandgap of energy Eg.
Dynamic Resistance of a Diode
Defines the AC or dynamic resistance of a p-n junction diode from the reciprocal slope of its forward V-I characteristic.
Transistor Current Relation
Expresses the emitter current as the sum of the base current and the collector current in a bipolar junction transistor.
Relation Between Current Gains Alpha and Beta
Relates the common-base current gain alpha and the common-emitter current gain beta of a transistor.
