Extrinsic Semiconductors Explained

An extrinsic semiconductor is a semiconductor material whose electrical conductivity is intentionally increased by adding a small amount of impurity atoms into a pure semiconductor crystal. This process is known as doping. Extrinsic semiconductors form the foundation of modern electronics and are widely used in diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, LEDs, solar cells, and microprocessors. Pure […]

What are Active components in electronics and Their Classification

Definition of Active components: “Active components are those who has the ability to control flow of electrons either by using voltage or by using another current.” Voltage-controlled devices are MOSFETs, vacuum tubes, while current-controlled devices are bipolar junction transistors which allow one current to control another. Active components can be of different types like semiconductor […]
