Silicon, Semiconductors, & Solar Cells: Crash Course Engineering #22

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today we-re looking at silicon, and how introducing small amounts of other elements allow silicon layers to conduct currents, turning them into semiconductors. We-ll explore how putting two different types - N and P semiconductors - together gives us electrical components like diodes, transistors, and solar cells. Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios: Check out Reactions

Woohoo, this is a really good class on BJT's (Bipolar Junction Transistors) and MOSFET's, and solar energy. And I really like this girl! She is so skinny and tall and smart! Maybe she can talk about the -small signal model- next time! If your are as cool as I am, do the -small signal model- next time and what the larger and complex reality that this model represent!
Gracious, gracious, gracious!

wow I know this is Crash Course, but if you just left tiny spaces in between speech segments (as would happen in normal conversation, I think it would vastly improve comprehension - at least for me, but likely for others, too. there is no pause in which to process that I have understood something before moving onto integrating a new concept.

9: 30 you didnt explain where the electron goes. you just made up a force and called it electricity so you didnt violate thermodynamics and ended the lecture! also, that was the worst explanation of how a diode works ive ever heard! i didnt even know you were describing a diode until you said it afterward!

Anything computing uses unipolars, because controlling by field, not current, but I get you'd need another video for explanation of those.
Also, FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER, and from now, EVEN FULLER BRIDGE RECTIFIER and THE MOTHER OF ALL FULLEST BRIDGE RECTIFIERS.

Your videos are awesome, and these videos were the reason I passed my physics final. Have you guys considered partnering up with the AAMC to make videos geared towards MCAT review? I would love to watch your videos to review for that content

When the arrow on the circuit changes direction at 9: 14, it changes from saying Electron Flow to Current. This is just to show that the two terms are opposite notations, so the flow didn't actually change directions right?

Note that processing Silicon on an atomic level was described in this video however, the terminology describing the process of adding Boron or Phosphorous to Silicon called -Doping- was not correctly identified.

I have to say that's one of the best explanation of transistors, with this explanation one can slowly but surely build up their knowledge in what is arguably the most important electrical component of our time
reply

that statement around 7: 02 makes no sense, the ability to use a small current to control a large don't have anything to do with zeroes and ones

You don't need to dope silicon to make it conductive. That is just done to change the band structure. Silicon by itself is a semiconductor.
