Hi thank u for this lecture, it's so helpful but i did'nt understand why when we are in depletion mode (so we apply a positive voltage < Vth) holes come out in Metal and they lie on the surface between M and O or the position doesn't matter?
I definitely misspoke, thanks for finding that! Boron atoms will accept electrons and become negatively charged, phosphorus ions give up their electrons and become positively charged.
Great question, you're exactly correct. If you apply the voltage to the capacitor, after everything settles there is no current flowing, so the fermi level must be constant everywhere (this is the definition of the fermi level). It's Ec, Ev, and Ei that bend to accommodate the voltage.
This is a common confusion, band diagrams are the *electron* energy, so there’s a negative sign in the potential energy because the electron has negative charge (-q*V).
a positive voltage at the gate attracts negatively charged ions at the other side, but those boron ions are already bounding with Si atoms. So when they move up they bring with them their silicon partner atomes, correct?
At 1:23 I think u made a mistake you should have said boron ions accept electrons instead of saying give up electrons and become negatively charged That's why boron is called acceptor impurity as it's trivalent. After all if an atom gives up electrons it will become positively charged ion and not negatively chraged ion
Exactly. EF is constant means that it is the same value throughout the entire band diagram. This will always be true if the system is in equilibrium. Bending of EF does not happen in equilibrium. It will only happen when you have current flowing, and even then it gets kinda complicated (in the form of quasi-Fermi levels).
@@JordanEdmundsEECS when we apply positive voltage to gate after undoing the intrinsic band banding, Ef of metal should move down and Ef of semiconductor remains at the same place. Is it what you want to say?
Your lecture is clear to understand, not too complicated that everyone can follow and fun, it's so helpful and enjoyable. Thanks!!
Top notch dude really needed this refresher cuz i got exams in 3 hours T^T
Hahaha I hope that went well xD

Learning from India 🇮🇳
at 1:22 you mention boron atom give up their electron but how it has one e less than si.. Plz guide us
I definitely misspoke, thanks for finding that! Boron atoms will accept electrons and become negatively charged, phosphorus ions give up their electrons and become positively charged.
when we are applying a positive or negative voltage, is it moving Ec,Ei, and Ev bands or is it moving the fermi level?

How negative voltage applied on the semiconductor is going to drag the band diagram up? Please explain! Thanks!

Thank you very much, you are life saver, so much hearts ♥️

You are absolutely correct, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out!
which book should I follow for MOS ?
Neamen is my personal favorite and very comprehensive.
At 6:56 you mention Ef is constant what that means 1)it can't move in band diagram of 2) bending of Ef will not take place?

Please make videos on mos amplifier
Videos on this should be coming in the next few days :)
Video is broken at 720p60 - video feed stops but sound keeps going.
Very good, but not 'scaring away' but like charger repell each other :)
Can you write my solid state physics exam?
XD someday.
