The book is a compilation of lecture notes for an Electrical and Electronic course. The electronic system is an electric circuit that uses electronic devices to produce digital operating systems. Materials used in electronic devices mostly are semiconductors. The most widely use of semiconductors are silicon and germanium. By doping with the trivalent and pentavalent atom, the silicon and germanium will be a good semiconductor in electronic systems.
Upon completion of this lesson, students should be able to acknowledge the electronic systems, describe the atomic structure of the silicon and germanium atom and explain the differences between holes and electrons. They should also be able to explain the effect of adding certain impurity atoms to change the conduction characteristics of semiconductor and describe the following types of trivalent, pentavalent, Donor/acceptor, n-material & p-material.
