  • The energy gap between valence and conduction bands

Question 15

Question
When temperature increases, the band gap in a semiconductor:
Answer
  • Increases, due to increased kinetic energy of atoms
  • Remains the same, because electrons are bound in their orbits
  • Decreases, due to electron-phonon interactions

Question 16

Question

Answer
  • Near the middle of the band gap

Answer
  • Increases
  • Decreases
  • Remains the same

Question 18

Question
When semiconductor is doped with element of higher valence (N-type doping) it becomes an acceptor (takes electrons) and there is a shift in the energy band gap. The new electron levels are:
Answer
  • Near the middle of the band gap
  • Near the conduction band
  • Near the valence band

Question 19

Question

Question 21

Question
What is the mathematical relation between the electrical resistance (R) in a semiconductor and the temperature (T)?
Answer

  • Proportional (as T increases, R increases with constant rate)
  • Exponential decay (as T increases, R decreases with increasing rate)

Question 22

Question
What is the mathematical relationship between the generated voltage in a photodiode and the distance from the light source?
Answer
  • Quadratic (voltage increase as the square of the distance)
  • Inversely proportional (decreases as one over the distance)
