A device to demonstrate the Haynes-Shockley Experiment
Matthew Philip · 2004
The celebrated Haynes-Shockley Experiment was devised in 1951 by J. Haynes and W. Shockley to demonstrate basic carrier transport phenomena. This experiment allows diffusion, drift and recombination to be investigated in a simple yet deeply insightful manner. This paper describes an attempt to build and test a device that can be used to demonstrate the Haynes Shockley Experiment. Details of the process flow and test strategies utilized are provided. Problems encountered and solutions taken are reported.
