Abstract |
|
We study electromechanical fields in a piezoelectric semiconductor rod nonuniformly doped with impurities producing holes and electrons. The phenomenological theory of piezoelectric semiconductors consisting of the equations of piezoelectricity and the conservation of charge for holes and electrons is used, which was reduced to a one-dimensional model for thin rods in a previous paper. In this paper the one-dimensional theory is linearized for low electric potential or voltage. Solutions from the linearized one-dimensional equations are obtained for three specific doping profiles: linear doping, piecewise linear doping with fundamentally important applications in PN junctions, and sinusoidal doping. Various electromechanical fields produced by the doping are calculated and examined. The results are fundamental to piezoelectric semiconductor devices or piezotronics. |
