833:), I = 5.41 mAmps (54 times the value when V was 0.6V)! If a small diode, it will surely burn out with this current ! We assumed that the applied voltage appears across the junction entirely ignoring the voltage drops across the bulk of the p and n regions. It is reasonable to assume that, yet, as the applied voltage approaches Vo = 0.703V, and the current increases, some voltage will begin to drop across the bulk p and n regions (the electric field in these regions increases) and across the resistance of the ohmic contacts to uphold the current conservation law while, the part of the applied voltage that lowers the barrier potential Vo, makes the voltage across the junction close to zero but, not equal to zero and a vanishingly thin depletion region remains that demarcates the p and the n regions with holes (from the p-side) and electrons (from the n-side) recombining all around. Only a small part of the applied voltage lowers the barrier potential V 84: 905:
decrease before electron density increases, or at least, hole density would decrease faster than electron density increases. In fact I suspect that most electrons coming to the P side from the N sides would recombine with one of the holes they find on their way. Same goes for holes crossing the junctions from the P side to the N side, I'd expect most of them to recombine with an electron from the N side. Thus, the first thing you'd see when you get closer to the junction from either side is a decrease of the majority carrier, not an increase of the minority carrier.

fact, the quantum excitation called an "electron" is not really the same as a free electron at all, because it also has a different mass from a free electron. It is another kind of quantum excitation that isn't the same as a single free particle, but nevertheless it's perfectly "real" in that it accurately describes the low-energy quantum states of the semiconductor system. So if you want to say "holes aren't real", then you have to say that these kinds of "electrons" in a semiconductor aren't real either. If holes aren't real, then what the heck is a
1878: 1434:, leaving behind charged ions and causing the width of the depletion region to increase. Likewise, because the n-type region is connected to the positive terminal, the electrons will also be pulled away from the junction, with similar effect. This increases the voltage barrier causing a high resistance to the flow of charge carriers, thus allowing minimal electric current to cross the p–n junction. The increase in resistance of the p–n junction results in the junction behaving as an insulator." 74: 53: 158: 192: 182: 22: 706:

OTOH a recent 'rm' edit taking away text about 'commonly' producing the junctions by alloying (not common now, even though common a long time ago) seems correct for current technology: alloying was a usual method of making germanium junction transistors in days gone by, but that was replaced by silicon wafer/diffusion technology.

stuff. I like the old man saying: 'It is safe to say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.'( Richard Feynman ). So, the theory is just after the real stuff. Unfortunately, the experiments are still confidential. We may never know how really the transistor was "invented" or works. We may know that what we use and know as viable theory today is a real junk.

Not being an expert in semiconductor physics, I'm not sure, but I strongly suspect the figure A.A might not be accurate. Because electrons can recombine with holes, right? Therefore I'd expect that when you enter the charged region near the junction coming from the P side, hole density would start to

The alloy junction transistors and diodes that used to be made of germanium sort of used more than one crystal; the crystal structure melted near the indium that was placed on the germanium surface, and as the sample

Last word: what we know now like theory are just presumtions. NOBODY saw the electrons and holes. They just assumed there should be something like this. All we know is deduction science, not the real thing. Someone will invent another theory in future, maybe, a new theory answering more question than

There is still no clear explanation of what exactly is asymmetrical. Diffusion is symmetrical so it cannot be the explanation. Why is the double layer depleted of carriers, if carriers can be produced via electron-hole pair generation? Is it that the process of pair generation-recombination in the

You are welcome ! My point here is to show that the "semiconductor" device was put together by experiment.

This information is incorrect because the 'holes' do not actually move; they are positive ions themselves, and therefore will not move through the wire away from the semiconductor, as only electrons flow through conductors (the wire in this case). I am posting this on the talk page to see if any of

I'm a grad student in condensed matter physics and I can assure you you're 100% wrong. A hole is a physically real quantum excitation of a semiconductor. It has a definite, well-defined mass (which is NOT negative, and NOT the same as the mass of a free electron), and it can undergo collisions. In

I just put a 'dubious' tag on the unsourced statement that a pn junction can be made from two separate pieces (of p-type and n-type material). Can't put my finger on a source right now, but it used to be said often that a crystal structure in common (and either free of crystal defects or *very*

value was incorrect. Accordingly the forward current calculations are all changed and the current at V = 0.7029 V is now 5.41 mAmps and not 0,5Amps. Description of current when voltage applied is close to and greater than the barrier potential included.
829:= 0.703V, we obtain I = 3.4 mAmps ! An increase in forward bias voltage of 0.09V has caused the forward current to increase by nearly 33 times to 3.3mAmps and the bias voltage is yet less than the barrier potential. With V = 0.7029V < 0.703V (V 576:

Also, I don't understand what you mean when you say "the experiments are still confidential". What experiments are you talking about? I am quite familiar with the invention and functioning of the transistor; it's not a secret.

Yes, holes move, in the same way that bubbles in a liquid move. You could protest "but bubbles in water don't actually rise, what really happens is that the water moves downward", but in effect they do move.
