- A region of N-type semiconductor doped by Nd=10^15 cm^-3 is fully depleted of both majority and minority carriers by an external electric field. Assuming that the concentration of electron-hole pairs that is generated per unit time does not change when the semiconductor is depleted, determine the effective generation rate if the semiconductor is (a) Si (ni = 1.02 × 1010 cm-3) and (b) GaAs (ni = 2.1 × 106 cm-3). The minority-carrier lifetime is 1 μs in both cases.arrow_forwardA silicon abrupt pn junction in thermal equilibrium at T = 300K is doped under the following conditions: p-side: Erp Ev = 0.18cV - n-side: EcEFn = 0.21eV Draw the energy band diagram of the pn junction Determine the impurity doping concentrations in each region Determine the build in voltage Vbi Find the depletion width in each region xp and x under 0 applied bias V₁ = a OVarrow_forward
