1) Define and illustrate the following terms:

Drift current, carrier mobility, carrier scattering, types of scattering, and effect of doping as
well as temperature on carrier mobility.

2) Derive a mathematical expression of carrier mobility for pn-junction, p+n junction, n+p
junction which correlates the conductivity and drift velocity only for drift current.

3) Differentiate between the following terms/ processes:

a) Direct and indirect band semiconductors.
b) Homo and hetero junction

4) Define the diffusion process in semiconductors and explain the diffusion current in prototype
pn-homojunction.
5) Formation of energy band diagram at electrical neutrality, thermal equilibrium and under
biasing as well.
6) Explain the phenomenon of current flow in pn-homojunction with band bending in energy
level diagram.
7) Define and explain electron affinity model with band alignment theory.
