History
Everything changed with the invention of
the transistor, at Bell Labs in 1947 by
William Shockley, John Bardeen, and
Walter Brattain, all of whom won the
1956 Nobel Prize in physics for their
efforts

History
if you can make all the separate
components out of semiconductor
material, why not make themand all the
wires that connect them togetheron the
same piece of semiconductor material?
Integration Era
SSI: Small-scale Integration, Gates< 10 (1960s)
MSl: Medium-scale Integration, Gates< 1000 (1970s)
LSl: Large-scale Integration, Gates> 1000 (mid 1970s)
VLSI: Very Large-scale Integration, Gates>100,000 (1980s)
SoC: Million Gate, Software & Hardware (mid 2000s)

Depletion region

Diode
Note : Depletion region is formed from a conducting region by removal of all free
charge carriers, leaving none to carry a current

Semiconductor Diodes
Diodes are made from semiconducting materials (crystalline silicon) with added
impurities
Impurities added to create a region with negative charge carriers (electrons), called ntype semiconductor
Impurities added to create a region with positive charge carriers (holes), called p-type
semiconductor
PN Junction is the boundary within the crystal between P region and N region
The crystal conducts a current of electrons in a direction from the N-type side (called
the cathode) to the P-type side (called the anode), but not in the opposite direction;
that is, a conventional current flows from anode to cathode (opposite to the electron
flow, since electrons have negative charge).
Another type of semiconductor diode is the Schottky diode, is formed from the contact
between a metal and a semiconductor rather than by a p-n junction
- Metals (molybdenum, platinum, chromium or tungsten) and N-type semiconductor
- Metal sides is the anode and N-type semiconductor is the cathode
- Very fast switching and low forward voltage drop.
