Indeed. After recombination, the immobile charged ions are left behind which set up the barrier potential. I couldn't understand what it was that set the barrier but now I know!

Goodness! I've been an electronic engineer for more years than I care to admit. On occasion, I still like to review the fundamentals to keep my knowledge fresh, so I've heard the P-N junction story many many times. But I have to say, this was the best explanation I've ever come across, and even after all these years practising engineering, this little video has greatly improved my understanding of this very fundamental concept.

Guys I bet uh, u won't get a better video than this in the whole of the utube!! I wasted a lot of time, searching for a video where I could understand p n junction clearly... And then I found these videos where I understood it finally!!! Tqsm🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🥳🥳

Awesome way of teaching.its the best video I have seen in KZread that explains about pn junctions,diodes..... I really appreciate you👏👏👏

I have watched no less than 6 videos. This video is one that makes sense. The rest are like my school teachers, they just brush things under the carpet and call it a day. Well done.

I m in love wd this topic now , no crammed concept , just pure physics and physics . This is insane 😍

At 7:17, why isn't the minority carrier electron from the P side not repelled by the negatively-charged Boron. I get that it's attracted to the positively charged Phosphorus, but it has to get past the Boron first...

BEST VIDEO AVAILABLE ON INTERNET FOR THE EXPLANATION OF MOTION OF CHARGES IN PN JUNCTION

Took me a long time to find someone to explain this clearly.

i hour i spend on utube so that i can understAND THIS TOPIC BUT then i came to this video andd hasshhhhhhhhh.... i am able to understand everything thankuuu sooo much i was soo confused before but now i understand it very well

This is just tooooooooo gooooddd . I was almost crying because this was hard to get, but this was amazing !!! THANK YOU

Amazing.....

Bestest video..I hav ever seen.. thank you very much...✌️✌️

That was so conceptual ❤

Excellent explanation! Thanks a lot for such free amazing content! Regarding the PN junction, we could also look at it from the perspective of neutrality. Overall, the p-side and the n-side, both are neutral and they want to remain neutral. At the PN junction, naturally, the nearby electrons and holes will recombine, but only to an extent where the tendency to remain neutral will pull the charges from going further. For example, on the p side, when some holes are neutralized by the electrons from the n side, there will already be some net extra -ve charges on the p side. These charges will resist further charge migration towards the p side. The same for the n- side.

Thank you..I needed this badly

Justttt wowww❤

Great video, thank you very much.

The best teaching I have ever found... 🙂🙂🙂

If we see this video we can easily understand p-n junction best video thank you

I thought i knew this concept because I could spew out big words, but thank you so much. Marks do not mean you understood the concept

Feel aagayaa 🔥

Beautiful mind

I have a question. Why the electrons can't attract the holes but the negative ions in the depletion regional can attract the holes to the p side?

Best video on youTube thnx so much

you are sooooo good!!

Awesome

Amazing

Super useful... Better if u explained how electron and hole destroyed each other 🤔

Asslamalikum Sir! Why minority charge carriers don't diffuse with opposite charge to become neutral, like why holes in n region attracted by electrons to form neutral atoms?

Hey, great video...also u sound like kumail nanjiani :p

Damnnn good explaination!!!!

Extremely helpful explanation! Watched so many videos and failed to understand the formation of the depletion layer, but this seemed to make sense so thank you. QUESTION: why can't the minority charge carriers from either side recombine with the majority charge carriers from that same side? In other words, why can't the minority electrons on the p-side diffuse into the majority holes on the p-side (or vice versa for n-side)? From a gas diffusion perspective, this makes sense since they stem from the same gas, but in reality electrons and holes are not actually gases. I assume it has something to do with the energy gap between the valence and conduction bands but am still a bit confused. If you see this, thank you.

U rock🔥🔥👏👏👍👍💥💥

Ahh so finnally my doubts are clear

This is insanely underrated

Super explonation

8:00 awesome

Anyone knows how those videos were made ?

The BEST

Finally........😊

I need to know how those animations were made🤯

If the minority charge carriers are crossing the depletion layer then don't they feel repulsion from the exposed charge carriers on the same side p or n side . Ex: If a hole (a minority charge carrier) , wants to reach p side from n side then the exposed +ve charge on n side won't repel the hole crossing the barrier?

a link for the previous video please

tq so much

Wait wont the minority charges(free electrons) in P tupe fill up the holes??

CLEAREST EXPLANATION BY FAR! Thanks Sir Mahesh! :)

bless u

At 5:48, I know that holes can't diffuse; it's the valence electrons which are moving. Now, my confusion is - are those valence electrons of the p-type or the n-type? If the free electrons can't make it to the p side due to the repulsion ( but there are some energetic ones), I don't think valence electrons of the n-type can contribute to the hole current because they have very much less energy level than the free ones. And what does it mean by energetic holes? Could you clarify this, please?

@Mark O’Brien Yes how can holes be attracted to negative charge? Bcuz Neutral bodies cannot be attracted to charged bodies. And holes are actually neutral..they are ONLY CONSIDERED as positively charged particle. Am I right?

I can understand why both p n sides haven charges I think they are nutrul in before connecting them because Si P and B atoms are not changed. Then.

During the movement of minority charge carriers, how can holes be attracted to the boron anions because I thought it was previously said that they are not actually positively charged particles themselves?

@hannahsahasra8917

The minority charge carriers here are not in a way attracted to the boron anions , it's the electric produced from n to p Makin them move and this is why the the minorty charge carriers in n type ie holes are sucked well not technically 😂 but yeah they r sucked into the n type and same goes with minority charge carriers in n type

Why do holes and positive charge repel?

Sir,how diffusion causes charged zone in junction

Holes can attract electrons via Coulomb interaction. Otherwise, you would not have the built in field at the PN junction.

I don't understand why the rogue holes/free electrons don't just combine with their counterparts. Aren't holes just the absence of electrons in the covalent bond? So why would a rogue free electron in the sea of holes not immediately go and fill any hole it finds?

Can you help me with this Sir?In the P type,we have the negative Boron ions and we have holes just behind them.Why some of the electrons from the ions don't drifft to the holes and that way the holes and the electons will vanish in the P side?And how can holes be repeled by the positive phosporus ions?

@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish

4 жыл бұрын

When Boron accepts electrons they leave behind a hole. This accepted electron is now covalently bonded with other carbon atoms. Secondly remember that motion of holes is basically valency electrons moving in the opposite direction. It's hard for electrons to move 'away' from positive phosphorus ions because they attract it. This in turn means it's hard for holes to move 'towards' the phosphorus ions

How can holes be attracted by -ve charge because actually they are nothing but vacant spaces? And can we say that when free electron goes from P to N it creates a hole in P?

@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish

You are right holes and electrons don't attract each other. They are diffusing into each other just like how gases would tend to mix (without any attractive force). For your second question, I used to think the same way. But no. The moving electrons are the ones in the Conduction band. A hole moves when an electron in a jam packed Valency band shifts to a neighboring vacant space.

Because atoms are very small In silicon we have about 10^22 atoms per cm cube. If the doping concentration is 1ppm, it means there are roughly 1 million atoms between 2 neighboring. That seems a like a lot but this means there are 10^22/10^6 = 10^16 dopant atoms per cm cube. That's still a lot isn't it?

Can someone answer this? @ 7:25 If free electrons from N-side can't make it to P side due to repulsion from negatively charged ions in the P side, how can minority electrons even move forward toward N side? Shouldn't the negatively charged ions repel the electrons from P side too? I know that they can be repelled forward but every time they move forward, there are always negatively charge on their way.

@KhanAcademyIndiaEnglish

You are right, guess could have used a better model. So in reality a minority carrier (like electrons in P type) don't wander around (as explained in the video). Since they have a high chance of combining with some majority carrier (like holes in P side), they would move very little before they recombine. However due to thermal generation another minority (and a majority) carrier will pop up somewhere randomly. So we can imagine these minority carriers popping up randomly, living for a short time and then disappearing. Since they pop up randomly. Sometimes they will pop up in the depletion region. This is when they get swept across due to the attraction (causing drift current)

i have a doubt on the same lines. First of all, i didnt get how they can randomly pop up in the depletion region out of nowhere because there shouldnt be as much thermal agitation in the depletion region as in the other regions. Second, even if they do, there is a 50% probability that they pop up in the p side or in the n side, i,e, there is only a .5 probability of getting swept across the depletion region.
