A p-n junction has a saturation current of 6.40 mA. (a) At a temperature of 300 K, what voltage is needed to produce a positive current of 40.0 mA? (b) For a voltage equal to the negative of the value calculated in part (a), what is the negative current?
The electron number density in a semiconductor varies from 1020 m³ to 10¹2 m³ linearly over a
distance of 4 µm. Determine the electron diffusion current and electric field at the midpoint if
no current flows, He = 0.135 m²V-¹s¹ and T = 300 K.
The figure shows the pn junction 250 micrometers long and made of silicon with a surface area of 100 micrometers square. In this pn junction, the I region is doped with 10 ^ 19 cm ^ -3 and in the II: region with 10 ^ 17 cm ^ -3 atoms. Only when the S1 switch is closed, the maximum is drawn from the "a-b" ends and 250 mA flows from the circuit. The ability of electrons to move in the pn junction is 1200 cm ^ 2 / V.s, and the ability of the holes to move is 400 cm ^ 2 / V.s. What is the channel width accordingly? (W =?)
