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 />
