Consider a step pn junction made of silicon. The p- and n-sides are doped such that Ec – EF = 0.21 eV on the n-side and EF – Ey = 0.18 eV on the p-side. The pn junction is under zero bias and kept at T = 300 K. Find the doping density in the n-side in unit of cm-3. Answers within 5% error will be considered correct. Enter answer here
Here are some statements about a p-n junction diode. Some are TRUE and some are FALSE. i. Applying a negative bias to the p-side and a positive bias to the n-side allows a forward current flow. ii. When the p-n junction is under reverse bias, the Fermi level is continuous across the junction. iii. The forward bias current is made up of holes from the p-side and electrons from the n-side flowing across the junction. iv. Under reverse bias, you can get minority electrons flowing from the p-side to the n-side of the junction. v. To get a large built-in voltage, you need to heavily dope the p-side and n-side of the junction. vi. The built-in voltage (or contact potential) of a p-n junction is typically twice the value of the band-gap of the semiconductor. Which of the following statements is correct: (i) and (ii) are both FALSE (ii) and (v) are both FALSE (iii) and (vi) are both FALSE
3. A metal contact to a n-type semiconductor can be considered as a p*-n junction with NA > ND. Draw an energy band diagram of the contact showing the Schottky barrier eoz and the depletion width d. Then draw the energy band diagram in forward and reverse biased conditions. Indicate how the +V or -V bias affects the contact potential and the depletion width. Explain how the bias changes the forward current due to the injection of electrons from the semiconductor into the metal, and the reverse current Io from the flow of metal free carriers into the semiconductor. Show that the rectifying behavior is just like that in a p-n junction.
