Higher Physics - Unit 3 - Optoelectroics and Semi-conductors
I created my own revision notes for all units of the Higher Physics course.
These are revision notes for part of the 3rd unit (Radiation and Matter), section 3 (Optoelectronics and Semi-conductors). I've uploaded all the subsections of this section in different files as they are otherwise too large.
This is a collection of 'definitions' for some of the key information in Unit 3.3. This covers:
• Photoelectric effect
• Work function
• Threshold frequency
• Photons
• Electrons - ground state
• Electrons - excited state
• Electrons - ionisation level
• Line emission spectra
• Line absorption spectra
• Spontaneous emission
• Stimulated emission
• LASER
• Doping
• n-type semiconductor
• p-type semiconductor
• Forward biased p-n junction diode
• Reverse biased p-n junction diode
• Photodiode
• Photodiode in photovoltaic mode
• Photodiode in photoconductive mode
• LED
• MOSFET - how it works
• MOSFET voltages
• MOSFET
