What is difference between ohmic and rectifying contact?
A p-n junction (or a metal-semiconductor junction) with rectifying behaviour is an electronic device which allows a one-way only current flow (between the two semiconductor regions, or between the metal and the semiconductor). An ohmic contact in a metal-semiconductor junction is realized by lowering the potential barrier (allowing electrons to easily migrate into the metal) and by increasing the doping levels in the semiconductor (more than 10^18 cm^-3): this way the potential barrier, that should stop electrons from migrating into the semiconductor, is confined in a very small region making it possible for electrons with low energy to pass through it (tunneling effect). This means that in a ohmic contact current can flow both ways; such a device apparently works like a resistor with a low resistance, hence the "ohmic contact" name.
What is the difference between step graded and linearly graded semiconductor p-n junction?
In step-graded the acceptor and donor concentrations in the semiconductor are constants up to the junction.In a linearly-graded junction, impurity concentration varies linearly with distance from the junction
What is transistor mos?
Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Usually used when referring to a specific type of transistor which uses this type of semiconductor material: the Field Effect Transistor (FET).
Why mosfet is called mosfet?
MOSFET is an acronym standing for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.
What is forward bias current in semiconductor?
I think its related to junction of two dissimilar semiconductor (or semiconductor and metal) and not only a semiconductor. well when two opposite nature semiconductor (hetero or homo) are joined to form a junctions they allow the flow of current in one direction while blocks it in other direction. The applied bias V which will cause the current flow is called forward bias and the current flowing through the junction forward bias current.
What are the differences between metal semiconductor and insulator?
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
What is silicon an alkali metal alkaline-earth metal transition metal or a semiconductor?
"semiconductor"

CMOS full form?
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
What is the difference between semiconductor and electronics?
A semiconductor is a device which is neither a Insulator nor a conductor. They behave like one in the right conditions.
Why geranium is known semi conductors?
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
What does cmo stand for?
It stands for: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
What is difference in seebeck effect by using metal and semiconductor?
Seebeck effect is a compact needle. This is what makes the compose work right.
Is titanium is a semiconductor?
No, titanium is a metal.
What is NMO?
N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
Difference between NPN and PNP?
NPN and PNP are transistor types. The difference in the way the layers of semiconductor material are doped with impurities.
Is there a connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor?
What is the connection between a metaloid and a semiconductor
