Sample Question 1
Semiconductor Physics & Diodes Medium • Electronics Engineering
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are fabricated from direct bandgap compound semiconductors (such as GaAs, GaN, InGaN) rather than indirect bandgap semiconductors like Silicon because:
A In direct bandgap materials, electrons recombine directly across the bandgap releasing energy predominantly as photons (light) without requiring lattice phonon momentum assistance
B Silicon is opaque to electricity
C Direct bandgap materials have zero thermal resistance
D Silicon cannot be doped P-type
✓ Correct Answer: A - In direct bandgap materials, electrons recombine directly across the bandgap releasing energy predominantly as photons (light) without requiring lattice phonon momentum assistance
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
In direct bandgap semiconductors, the conduction band minimum and valence band maximum align at the same crystal momentum (k = 0). Radiative electron-hole recombination is direct and highly efficient, producing photons: lambda = h * c / Eg. In Silicon (indirect bandgap), recombination requires a phonon (lattice vibration), dissipating energy as heat.
