  • In this episode, we talk about Silicon Valley's namesake and how network solids are at the heart of it all. Hank also discusses Solid-State Semiconductors, N-Type and P-Type Semiconductors, Diodes, Transistors, Computer Chips, and Binary Code. All from the same thing that makes up sand!

      Depending on the school and the course level, the methods of teaching are different. University level engineering throws you straight into the deep end with mathematics (definitely Calculus) and little practical application; but technical college/trade level gives you all the practical experience too. I mean, university will do some practical, but nowhere near what one would do, say, in low voltage electronic equipment (service tech) work or high voltage mains and transmission line (electrician) work. Engineering also focuses on design and project management, R&D, touching on computer science and programming (particularly microcontroller programming). All these things tie with in electrical engineering.
      From my experience, I went the trade route and started from the basics of DC and Ohm's law, some maths (okay, a lot of maths), wiring little circuits with light bulbs, all the way through AC principles, amplifier basics, digital electronics (logic gates and microcontrollers), electronic security, advanced radio comms (totally got to build a Yagi antenna!), computer repairs, to designing and building my own analog op amp with a 471 chip (once I hit diploma level). Everything comes back to Ohm's law. I did electronics, not electrical; I am definitely not interested in touching anything to do with mains power.
      Already knowing how to solder gives you an instant advantage if you're going to university; some students wind up in work placement without even knowing what components look like in real life; or which part of the soldering iron is the one you're supposed to hold... I came into my course with that knowledge already; from 9 months making audio signal cabling and boxes for a job.
      Good luck!

    Hey hank, I'd like to point out something in this video.
    Your explanation on why not type and P type semiconductors are called so is a bit misleading.
    Both n type and p type semiconductors are electrically neutral - ie they have no net charge. This is so because the dopant itself is neutral and so is silicon.

    Good, but 2 complaints:
    Clays and glass are not just "different forms of SiO2". They contain other elements besides silicon and oxygen, and it is because of those elements that they have different silicon-oxygen networks.
    Molten quartz solidifies into an amorphous glass unless it is cooled very slowly. While crystalline quartz melts at 1713C, silica glass (called "fused quartz") begins to soften at 1665C.

  • @Drosen131
    @Drosen131 Před 10 lety

    Would have been great to hear a little about the MOS structure. The Transistor that you started to describe is (I believe) the BJT, which uses current to turn on or off. What we use most of the time today is the MOSFET, which uses voltage to turn on or off. This is a much lower power device.

  • @ZT1ST

    So this was an awesome video...
    ...but the one thing I was hoping to learn is exactly how the set of 3 p/n-type semi-conducting silicon actually work together to create an on/off switch.
    As I understand, a second current is used to prevent electron flow, but I can't remember which ones require which connection, and how the electrons cause the effect.

  • @michaelgabay69

    glass can conduct electricity rather well if it gets hot enough. If it glows it should conduct and if allowed will cause a run away effect. This can happen in a microwave oven. It can also occur on failing outdated electrical insulators. It can be done easily on purpose in a microwave. I have only read about it happening accidentally during fault tests and repair.

    I did some research and it looks like you are right: Oxygen is the most abundant in the crust. This makes sense if we assume most of the silicon is as SiO2, which has 28 grams/mol of Si and 32 grams/mol of oxygen. Oxygen is also found in many other minerals and ores.

    @WTFINEEDACHANNEL Před 10 lety

    Just to clear something up: sand is not a particular mineralogy, it is a grain/sediment size. What you scoop up at the beach may be composed of several varieties of quartz in addition to various iron oxides and other detrimental minerals. In many places the sand size fraction lacks quartz all together, e.g. White Sands New Mexico is nearly all gypsum sand and Papakolea Beach in Hawaii is mostly olivine. Btw minerals are minerals regardless of their size or habit, quartz sand is exactly quartz.

  • @jeroonk
    @jeroonk Před 10 lety

    I think "insulator" here refers to the inability to conduct electricity, not heat. While it's true that metals conduct both heat and electricity very well due to their free electrons, other solids which are not electrical conductors may still conduct heat due to lattice vibrations. Some ceramics (e.g. the heat shield tiles on the Space Shuttle) are amazing thermal insulators, usually due to pockets of air trapped inside, while others are not.

  • @ContentToHover
    @ContentToHover Před 10 lety

    It is an amorphous solid, meaning a solid that the structure of the atoms that make it up is pretty much random. The lack of organization in the structure allows them to move a little bit, causing amorphous solids to flow very slowly. After a hundred years, a glass window will be a little wider at the bottom than the top because of this.

  • @michaelc.tiberio5761
    @michaelc.tiberio5761 Před 7 lety

    I'm sure I am repeating a previous comment, but a subtle point about the doping description seems incorrect.
    I listened to it twice and the description of the way that doping adds charge carries to N-type and P-type regions seems to describe the process as adding negative and positive charge to the lattice, respectively. This is not the case. There are free negative charge carriers in the form of electrons, for N-type regions, and free positive charge carriers in the form of holes, for P-type regions, added to the lattice but the over all charge of the lattice remains neutral.
    The reason for this that the atoms used to dope the silicon structure, say phosphorus or boron, are of neutral charge when they are added to the lattice--they have the same number of protons as they have electrons. The lattice remains neutrally charged. They effectively displace a silicon atom in the lattice but they don't have the right number of electrons to exactly satisfy all the bonds for that silicon atom. This leaves either a free electron that can move through the lattice (phosphorus) or a deficiency of an electron that can also move through the lattice (boron). These free charge carriers allow for conduction of electricity.

    Tiny tiny remark: N-type and P-type silicon have only a *relative* charge. The amount of electrons and amount of protons in the entire crystal still match perfectly. The charge only exists with respect to the "perfect" structure without doping. :)
    Also: What Doctor Who reference?! O_o

    Silicon,
    Thanks for the sand on the beach, the glass with my mojito, and the computer on which I watch Crash Course.

    Hey Hank, quick question, what is the deal with solar photovoltaic panels in this regard ? They are made from doped silica crystals as well, are they not ? Do you think you can find the time to talk about them a little ?

    Silicon most commonly has an oxidation number of +2 or +4, while Carbon most commonly has an oxidation number of +4 or -4 (Although carbon can have anything in between). So even though they have the same number of valence electrons, they don't react the same way.
    Also, I wouldn't say silicon's higher atomic number makes it more complicated, just heavier. But perhaps you are right that this is the reason for the difference.

    "Now we need clock speeds in the GHz and multiple cores to do anything." Tell that to mobile and tablet users on ARM architecture OS'. With the exception of gamers and some niche users like video editors, people are largely processing text and static images and have no desire to do more, so computers actually do have enough processing power, and this has probably been the case for several years.

    Can you please do an episode on Graphene Super Conductors?

    Regardless of how much we increase the processing power, someone always manages to find something new that requires even more. It's not like we can prove that no game will ever require more than a certain amount of processing power. People could have given similar points to what you're giving now in the past, only to be proven wrong when someone manages to find a new technique.
    Also, I have a feeling Sparse Voxel Octrees are going to replace polygons in another decade or so.
