| Question | Answer |
| Two common semiconductor materials are ? and ? . | silicon / germanium |
| In an atom that has lost an electron, the place vacated by the free electron is referred to as a(n) ? . | hole |
| A(n) ? exhibits characteristics of both insulators and conductors. | semiconductor |
| Adding impurities to a pure material is known as the ? process. | doping |
| A semiconductor material with an excess of free electrons is called a(n) ? material. | N-type |
| Excess electrons can be added to intrinsic silicon or germanium by adding impurities such as ? , ? , and ? . | antimony / arsenic / bismuth |
| A semiconductor material with a deficiency of free electrons is called a(n) ? material. | P-type |
| Adding gallium, boron, or indium to pure silicon or germanium will create a material with an excess of ? . | holes |
| The area between the P-type materials and the N-type materials of a single junction PN diode is known as the ? region. | depletion |
| The P side of a PN junction diode is referred to as the ? . | anode |
| The N side of a PN junction diode is referred to as the ? . | cathode |
| The negative and positive ions in the depletion region of a silicon diode creates an interior ? voltage of approximately 0.6 volts. | barrier |
| To conduct current, the semiconductor diode must be ? biased. | forward |
| t/f When a diode is properly biased to conduct, the depletion region will expand. | false |
| A diode is forward biased when the cathode is connected to the ? side of the external voltage source and the anode is connected to the ? side. | negative / positive |
| When properly biased, a silicon diode will conduct when more than ? is applied. | 0.6 V |
| t/f When the width of the depletion region changes, in essence the resistance of the PN junction changes. | true |
