The importance of solar cell in modern times
Abstract: As of now, we all know that technology is a double-edged sword that can turn around. Blessing or disarray in any situation. Thus in recent years we have become more familiar with the term "global warming" and the near-surface air and average. One of the reasons for the increase in temperature is that the trees and greenery are declining day by day. Thus we are going to explain in this …

Electroluminescence
Abstract: Electroluminescence (EL) is a kind of luminescence which is an optical and electrical phenomenon in which light is emitted by certain materials due to the passage of an electric current or a strong electric field. The mechanism behind electroluminescence is the radiative recombination, or spontaneous emission. The electrons get excited and release their energy as photons. The holes and electrons before recombining are separated either by doping the given material …

Reformation of WLAN Feeler by Incorporating Varactor Diode with Negative Media Structure
Abstract: AbstractIn this manuscript, authors proposed a negative media structure with Varactor diode to reform the rectangular microstrip patch antenna parameter to a great extent. Initially basic feeler was designed and simulated, and then parameters were enhanced by implementing negative media structure. It has been observed that negative media is not sufficient to improve the parameters therefore Varactor diode was introduced to get the required improvement. This proposed design of feeler …

Simple Gain Model of Group III-V Semiconductor-based Laser Diode
Abstract: In these days, a layer of low bandgap material is sandwiched between two high bandgap layers.Most commonly-used pair of materials is gallium arsenide (GaAs) with aluminium galliumarsenide (AlGaAs) and Indium Phosphide (InP) with Indium gallium arsenide phosphide(InGaAsP) laser. A heterostructure is the junctions between different bandgap materials. Here,two such junctions are present, hence it is called the name "double heterostructure laser" orDH laser. The kind of laser diode may be …

Physics of Semiconductors and Electronic Circuits
Abstract: This study talks about the basic ideas behind semiconductor physics and how important they are for making and running modern electronic circuits. It starts with a look at intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, going into how charge carriers move, energy band theory, and how doping affects how well the electricity flows. Next, the conversation turns to semiconductor devices like diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), and field-effect transistors (FETs). The focus is …

Unified Mathematical Framework for Semiconductor Devices, Junction Dynamics, and Circuit Analysis
Abstract: Semiconductor devices form the fundamental building blocks of modern electronic and integrated circuit systems, where their electrical behavior is governed by coupled carrier transport, electrostatic, and circuit-level phenomena. This work presents a unified mathematical framework for modeling semiconductor devices, junction dynamics, and their interaction with electronic circuits. The formulation integrates fundamental semiconductor relations, carrier concentration, drift–diffusion transport, Poisson’s equation, continuity equations, PN-junction behavior, diode characteristics, bipolar junction transistor operation, and …
