Both p and n are the basic semiconductors arrived from the concept of doping. Hence the basic difference between p and n-type is the way or the nature of the doping involved. Semiconductors can be differentiated as intrinsic and extrinsic as per the matter of purity concerned. P-type and N-type semiconductors come under extrinsic semiconductors. Although they are categorized under the same category of extrinsic there behaviors are extremely different based on its dopants. However, they have … [Read more...]

What is an P-type Semiconductor?
A crystal that has its conduction value in between conductor and insulator is termed as the semiconductor.It can be formed by the addition of impurities. It can be referred to as either p-type or n-type. Hence its conduction is based on the types and the amount of impurity added. These solids conduction value is proportional to the temperature value. As the temperature increases its conduction value increases as temperature degrades then the conduction of the semiconductor tends to … [Read more...]
MMBT2222a Transistor : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit, Interface, Working & Its Applications
An SMD transistor is a surface-mount device transistor that can be directly soldered onto the surface of a PCB. The transistors which can be mounted in this way can detach more easily, so the circuit boards which use SMD transistors are very cheaper to produce as compared to others. These transistors are made up of semiconductor materials like Germanium/ Silicon. There are two kinds of SMD transistors like PNP type & NPN type and these transistors are marked with some codes to indicate the … [Read more...]

TIP32C PNP Transistor : PinOut, Specifications, Circuit & Its Applications
A type of transistor that is designed by sandwiching an N-type semiconductor between the two P-type semiconductors is known as a PNP transistor. This transistor includes three terminals like collector, emitter & base. This transistor performs as two PN junction diodes connected end-to-end. These end-to-end PN junction diodes are called the collector-base (CB) junction & base-emitter (BE) junction. There are different PNP transistors which are manufactured by different manufacturers like … [Read more...]
IRF3205 MOSFET : Pin Configuration, Specifications, Circuit & Its Applications
IRF3205 MOSFET is an N-Channel Power MOSFET based on Advanced Process Technology. This MOSFET was introduced by “International Rectifier” to generate very low on-resistance per silicon region. This MOSFET is different as compared to the normal MOSFET, where earlier MOSFETs come with a thick oxide gate layer & experience high input voltage whereas the current MOSFETs come with a thin-gate oxide layer without the capability to resist high voltage which means applying high voltage will affect … [Read more...]
What is a Heat Sink : Working and Its Applications
In recent years, various devices such as integrated circuits, personal computers having GPU units, IGBT, and semiconductor power devices unprecedentedly generates a large amount of heat. It came to know that the heat generation concentration from these devices is approaching a level matching that of nuclear reactors, which becomes almost difficult to dissipate such a heat rate. For that reason, there is a requirement for heat dissipation through heat sinks where these devices can efficiently … [Read more...]
