A varactor is a pn junction diode that always operates in reverse-bias and is doped to maximize the inherent
capacitance of the depletion region.
Select one:
O True
O False
A simple diode rectifier has 'ripples' in the output wave which makes it unsuitable as a DC source. To overcor
this on e can use
Problem 2. In a typical MOSFET
structure with a p-Si body, the
Drain/Body and Source/Body
regions are comprised of pn-
junction diodes because the Drain
and Source electrodes are attached
to the p-Si body layer through a
small island-like region of n-Si. If
these n-Si regions were not present,
describe what would happen if you
tried to measure the channel
current between the Source and
Drain electrodes in this device
(assuming the gate voltage has
properly created an inversion
channel)?
