Field distribution in semiconductors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on field distribution in semiconductors, particularly during the field effect. It highlights that the electric field is screened by polarized carriers, such as electrons and holes, and references the Debye length as a key concept. The participants emphasize that the electric field approaches zero at infinity and seek clarification on the distribution of carriers. A recommended resource for further understanding is "The PN Junction Diode" by Gerold W. Neudeck.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of semiconductor physics
  • Familiarity with Debye length in electrostatics
  • Knowledge of pn junctions
  • Basic concepts of electric field screening
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of Debye length in semiconductor materials
  • Read "The PN Junction Diode" by Gerold W. Neudeck
  • Explore the behavior of polarized carriers in semiconductors
  • Investigate electric field distribution in semiconductor devices
USEFUL FOR

Students, researchers, and professionals in semiconductor physics, electrical engineering, and anyone interested in understanding field effects in semiconductor materials.

TL;DR
Field distribution in the semiconductor.
Hello for everyone. I have a question according the field distribution in the semiconductor while the field effect. According to logic, the field is scrreened due to the field of the polarized carriers like electrons and holes. I know about the Debiye length. And that the field on the infinity equals to zero. What is meant under the last topic? What is the real destribution of the carriers of both types?

It sounds like what you are asking for is a good primer on pn junctions. I recommend the book The PN Junction Diode by Gerold W. Neudeck which is volume 2 of the Modular Series on Solid State Devices.

Thank You very much/ I will check this book. But the answer is easier. It is more convinient to use the model of Debieye length.
