Question
Consider the silicon PN junction in Fig. 4-47.
P+
Р
N
N+
0.4 μm
1.2 μη
FIGURE 4-47
(a) If N₁ = 5 × 10¹6 cm³ in the P region and N₁ = 1 × 10¹7 cm³ in the N region, under
increasing reverse bias, which region (N or P) will become completely depleted
first? What is the reverse bias at this condition? (Hint: use Nap = Non. The
doping densities of P+ and N+ are immaterial).
(b) Repeat part (a) with N₁ = 1 × 1016 cm³ and Nd = 1 × 10¹7 cm³.
(c) What are the small-signal capacitances (F/cm²) at the bias conditions in (a) and (b)?
