Answer : NAND gate   
CBSE Class 12 Physics VBQs Semiconductor Devices_10

Question. Explain how the depletion region and barrier potential are formed in a p-n junction diode.
Answer : Formation of Depletion Layer: At the junction there is diffusion of electrons of n-region to p-region while holes of p-region diffuse into n-region. Some electrons combine with holes to neutralise each other. Thus near the junction there is an excess of positively charged ions in n-region and an excess of negatively charged ions in p-region. This sets up a potentialdifference and hence an internal electric field Ei (junction field) across the junctions. The field Eiis directed from n-region to p-region.

Question. Draw the circuit diagram of a n-p-n common emitter transistor as an amplifier with proper biasing.If a change of 0.4 mA in base current causes a change of 10mA in collector current in a common emitter amplifier, find a.c.current gain of the transistor.
Answer : ß= change in collector current/change in base current = 25
 

THREE MARKS QUESTIONS

Question. Draw energy band diagram for a (i) p- type extrinsic semiconductor (ii) n-type extrinsic semiconductor (iii) intrinsic semiconductors.
Answer : (Image 4) .(i) p-type semiconductor

Question. Define the terms ‘potential barrier’ and ‘depletion region’ for a p-n junction diode. State how the thickness of depletion region will change when the p.n junction diode is (i) forward biased. (ii) Reverse biased.
Answer : Potential barrier-The loss of electrons from the n-region and the gain of electron by the p-region cause a difference of potential across the junction of the two regions. Since this potential tends to prevent the movement of electron from the n region into the p region, it is often called a barrier potential.
Depletion region- The space-charge region on either side of the junction which is free of electrons and holes is known as depletion region.
(i) Thickness of depletion region decreases when diode is forward biased.
(ii) Thickness of depletion region increases when diode is reverse biased.

Question.With the help of labeled circuit diagram, explain the rectification action of a full wave rectifier.
Answer : Answer included in 10 years question answer.

Question.Distinguish between conductors, semiconductors and insulators on the basis of band theory of solids.
Answer : In metal either the conduction band is partially filled and the balanced band is partially empty or the conduction and valance bands overlap. When there is overlap electrons from valence band can easily move into the conduction band. This situation makes a large number of electrons available for electrical conduction. When the valence band is partially empty, electrons from its lower level can move to higher level making conduction possible (Image 4)
This situation is shown in Fig.(c). Here a finite but small band gap (Eg< 3 eV) exists. Because of the small band gap, at room temperature some electrons from valence band can acquire enough energy to cross the energy gap and enter the conduction band. These electrons (though small in numbers) can move in the conduction band. 
In this case, as shown in Fig.(b), a large band gap Egexists (Eg> 3 eV). There are no electrons in the conduction band, and therefore no electrical conduction is possible. Note that the energy gap is so large that electrons cannot be excited from the valence band to the conduction band by thermal excitation. This is the case of insulators.
