SUBELEMENT E6 -- CIRCUIT COMPONENTS [6 Exam Questions -- 6 Groups]<br />
E6A Semiconductor materials and devices: semiconductor materials (germanium, silicon, P-type, N-type);<br />
transistor types: NPN, PNP, junction, power; field-effect transistors: enhancement mode; depletion mode;<br />
MOS; CMOS; N-channel; P-channel<br />
Transistor Construction<br />
E6A01<br />
Free electrons are the majority charge carriers in N-type semiconductor material.<br />
E6A02<br />
N-type type of semiconductor material contains more free electrons than pure germanium or silicon crystals.<br />
E6A03<br />
Holes are the majority charge carriers in P-type semiconductor material.<br />
E6A04<br />
The name given to an impurity atom that adds holes to a semiconductor crystal structure is acceptor impurity.<br />
E6A05<br />
The alpha of a bipolar junction transistor refers to the change of collector current with respect to emitter<br />
current.<br />
E6A06<br />
The beta of a bipolar junction transistor refers to the change in collector current with respect to base current.<br />
