  1. Transistors Camille Cruz Chase Thompson Tyler Nelson September 26, 2013

  2. Outline • Introduction • Transistors Types • Bipolar Junction Transistors • Field Effect Transistors • Power Transistors • Example

  3. What is a Transistor?

  4. Transistors First Transistor Different types and sizes FET and BJT Transistor BJT (PNP) Electrical Diagram Modern Electronics

  5. Purpose • To amplify and switch electronic signals on or off (high or low) • Modern Electronics Microprocessor Motor Controllers Cell Phones

  6. Vacuum tubes • Purpose • Used as signal amplifiers and switches • Advantages • High power and frequency operation • Operation at higher voltages • Less vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses • Disadvantages • Very large and fragile • Energy inefficient • Expensive

  7. Invention • Evolution of electronics • In need of a device that was small, robust, reliable, energy efficient and cheap to manufacture • 1947 • John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Schockly invented transistor • Transistor Effect • “when electrical contacts were applied to a crystal of germanium, the output power was larger than the input.”

  8. General Applications

  9. Doping • Process of introducing impure elements (dopants) into semiconductor wafers to form regions of differing electrical conductivity Negatively charged Semiconductor Positively charged semiconductor

  10. Doping Effects • P-type semiconductors • Created positive charges, where electrons have been removed, in lattice structure • N-type semiconductors • Added unbound electrons create negative charge in lattice structure • Resulting material • P-N junction

  11. P-N junction Forward Biasing Reverse Biasing

  12. P-N junction • Controls current flow via external voltage • Two P-N junctions (bipolar junction transistor, BJT) • Controls current flow and amplifies the current flow

  13. Transistor Categories • Semiconductor material • Structure • Polarity • Maximum power rating • Maximum operating frequency • Application • Physical packaging • Amplification factor

  14. Types of Transistors • Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) • Field Effect Transistors (FET) • Power Transistors

  15. BJT Introduction • Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) consists of three “sandwiched” semiconductor layers • The three layers are connected to collector (C), emitter (E), and base (B) pins • Current supplied to the base controls the amount of current that flows through the collector and emitter

  16. BJT Schematic NPN • NPN • BE forward bias • BC reverse bias • PNP • BE reverse bias • BC forward bias PNP

  17. BJT Characteristic Curves Transfer Characteristic • Characteristic curves can be drawn to show other useful parameters of the transistor • The slope of ICE / IBEis called the Transfer Characteristic (β)

  18. BJT Characteristic Curves Input Characteristic • The Input Characteristic is the base emitter current IBE against base emitter voltage VBE • IBE/VBEshows the input Conductance of the transistor. • The increase in slope of when the VBE is above 1 volt shows that the input conductance is rising • There is a large increase in current for a very small increase in VBE.

  19. BJT Characteristic Curves Output Characteristic • collector current (IC) is nearly independent of the collector-emitter voltage (VCE), and instead depends on the base current (IB) IB4 IB3 IB2 IB1

  20. BJT Operating Regions

  21. BJT Applications BJT Switch • Offer lower cost and substantial reliability over conventional mechanical relays.  • Transistor operates purely in a saturated or cutoff state (on/off) • This can prove very useful for digital applications (small current controls a larger current)

  22. BJT Applications BJT Amplifier

  23. BJT Applications BJT Amplifier

  24. Field Effect Transistors (FET) Chase Thompson

  25. FET Basics • Electric Field • Voltage Controlled • FET includes three distinct pieces • Drain • Source • Gate

  26. FET versus BJT? • Difference: • Voltage vs Current Input • Unipolar vs Bipolar • Noise • Higher input impedance • Fragile and low gain bandwidth Same: • Applications: amplifier, switch, etc. • Relies on PNP or NPN junctions to allow current flow

  27. Types of Field-Effect Transistors

  28. JFET • Reverse Biased PN-junction • Depletion mode devices • Creates a potential gradient to restrict current flow. (Increases overall resistance) http://www-g.eng.cam.ac.uk/mmg/teaching/linearcircuits/jfet.html

  29. JFET • N-channel JFET • P-channel JFET uses same principles but • Channel current is positive due to holes instead of electron donors • Polarity of biasing voltage must be reversed

  30. N-Type Characteristics

  31. JFETs Characteristics and Applications of FETs • Simplest type of FET – easy to make • High input impedance and resistance • Low Capacitance • Slower speed in switching • Uses? • Displacement sensor • High input impedance amplifier • Low-noise amplifier • Analog switch • Voltage controlled resistor

  32. MOSFET p-channel • Similar to JFET • A single channel of single doped SC material with terminals at end • Gate surrounds channel with doping that is opposite of the channel, making the PNP or NPN type • BUT, the MOSFET uses an insulator to separate gate from body, while JFET uses a reverse-bias p-n junction n-channel MOSFETenhanced mode MOSFETdepleted mode

  33. How does a MOSFET work? No Voltage to Gate Voltage to Gate Source Drain Source Drain n n Simplified Notation No current flow “Short” allows current flow

  34. MOSFET Triode Mode/Linear Region VGS > Vth and VDS < ( VGS - Vth ) Saturation/Active Mode VGS > Vth and VDS > ( VGS - Vth ) VGS : Voltage at the gate Vth : Threshold voltage VDS : Voltage from drain to source μn: charge-carrier effective mobility W: gate width L: gate length Cox : gate oxide capacitance per unit area λ : channel-length modulation parameter

  35. MOSFETs Characteristics and Applications of FETs • Oxide layer prevents DC current from flowing through gate • Reduces power consumption • High input impedance • Rapid switching • More noise than JFET • Uses? • Again, switches and amplifiers in general • The MOSFET is used in digital CMOS logic, which uses p- and n-channel MOSFETs as building blocks • To aid in negating effects that cause discharge of batteries Use of MOSFET in battery protection circuit

  36. Power Transistors • Concerned with delivering high power • Used in high voltage and high current application • In general • Fabrication process different in order to: • Dissipate more heat • Avoid breakdown • Different types: Power BJTs, power MOSFETS, etc.
