(a) Explain the following terms as they relate to semiconductor diodes: Avalanche effect, Depletion region, and Intrinsic semiconductor                                             

 

(b) With the aid of fully labeled Crystal Lattice Structure diagram (s), explain how P-type

      material of a semiconductor is formed.                                                   

 

(c) Draw a diagram showing the volt-ampere characteristic of a Zener diode. Explain the difference between Zener breakdown and Avalanche breakdown mechanisms.                                                                                                                                    

 

(d) A bridge rectifier is supplied with 120Vrms sinusoidal signal. If each diode has a

     junction voltage of 0.7V, determine: The peak voltage at the output of the rectifier and A suitable peak inverse voltage rating of each diode
