I finally understood what is the hole current!!! Thank you so much! I've always asked to my professor why the holes can flow and I never had a satisfied answer. It turns out to be electron current but at valence shell!

Thank you, the most simple and complete in same time explanintion i've ever seen

These videos are fantastic! Why haven't I seen you before now?! Thank you

I had a hard time understanding this concept. This helped a lot. Thanks

I came here to understand band gap and got more than I hoped for. Tthe effort put purely into explaining the concept as apprehensible as possible is heart warming. I thought I'd subscribed to your channel already but was glad I wasn't so I could do it now. Awesome job, sir!

BTW... in my head, I picture charge carrier holes as bubbles in water (since they're just 'empty space' in the 'actual substance'). Would you say this is a reasonable metaphor? I'm just curious why I can't recall seeing this anywhere else while some people seem to hold on to all sorts of water analogies even when the atom model might be easier to grasp.

i watched many videos trying to understand bands, gaps, and how that relates to electrons, but all the videos i have watched up till now miss the importance of describing WHERE the conduction band is relative to the valence band on an atom. If they leave out one little piece of information it sends you crazy trying to understand the rest. Thank you so much for your video, now I can continue.

Came across a vid about it from an English bloke and he was explaining with plastic balls from a kids play place... I found your vid right after.. you ever notice that Brits are smarter and more informed than the average person here, but I think that our best of the best outshine over here

Is there a practical experience with passing an electric current through a silicon chip doped with boron? P_ type

Holes(vacant space) in valence band Near by electron in valence band moves to make current in valence band

Nice explanation - keep going and make more.

so if i am right free electron moves and create holes while other electrons fill the hole and that is how the current ae transpoted?

Nice

Great video. But, what do you mean by giving electrons energy? How do you define energy?

I might have missed it but does the conduction band show up anywhere in the Bohr model/diagram? I feel like it appeared in this video without being introduced.

@CircuitBread

2 жыл бұрын

The conduction band is based on the Bohr model, but it wasn't touched on in this video. I've considered doing another video focusing on that, but I would need to get back to Dr. Campbell for her specialist help because I know I couldn't explain it well enough with my current understanding.

Yeah it is helpfull🎉😊

Sir explain about direct and indirect Band gap in semiconductor

So will hole current still be present if no voltage source is applied? I understand it still needs some energy as mentioned but is that provided by the temperature or a voltage source?

@CircuitBread

3 жыл бұрын

You'll get what's called diffusion current when there's no voltage source ( www.circuitbread.com/ee-faq/what-is-the-difference-between-drift-and-diffusion-currents-in-a-semiconductor ) and it will be both hole and electron current. There are two factors to consider, though. One, whether there are any free carriers - which is dependent on temperature and doping, allowing electrons and holes to move around. And then if there are free carriers you have the second factor. And that is if there are forces causing those free carriers to move, which is either diffusion or a voltage source.

Hi, Thank you very much for your explanation, I understood the valence band is the outermost shell of an atom, then what is exactly the conduction band, is it one of the shells of an atom? or where the free electrons are present that we call C.B?

@CircuitBread

8 ай бұрын

The conduction band is made up of electrons that are NOT firmly attached to any atoms but just kinda "float" around in what is considered a "sea of electrons". Hopefully that clarifies things!

Thank you for your videos. The presentation is really nice and it makes me curious about the other videos ! :D I still have a question if you have time. Why large band gap semiconductors like SiC are better than Si ? I mean if a narrow band gap needs less energy to make the electrons goes into the conduction band, why SiC would be better than Si as SiC has a larger band gap ?

That's a great question and one that I'd rather refer you to a good article rather than try and explain it in a KZread comment. I recommend going to: www.wolfspeed.com/knowledge-center/article/importance-of-silicon-carbide-wide-bandgap I don't know who this company is but they have a good explanation on this topic.

Can U Please Make A Breif Video About How Band Gap Develops In Any Atom Or Material With 2 To 3 Example.! I'll be Grateful.!

When there are equal number of free electrons and holes will it be classified as electron flow or hole flow? During electron flow it will also create hole flow right? when hole flow it will also be electron flow right? How do define whether something is electron flow or hole flow?

I really wanted to see those toasts pop up :)

What is difference between narrow band gap and wider band gap in semiconductor?

Us the band gap big or the electrons or the bound is strong between the electron and the nuclei
