A pn diode is a semiconductor device in which, unlike in a metal, the current flow is due not only to negative electron charge flow but also due to positive charges. The positive charges are usually referred to as holes, as they are really "deficit" in the negative charge distribution. The semiconduction material (usually silicon with Er = 11 or gallium arsenide with e, impurities are added. Initially, the physically important region on the p side contains a density p+ of positive charges per unit volume, whereas the n region contains a negative charge density p-. When they are brought in contact, a static equilibrium follows in which a surplus of negative charges will accumulate in the (thin) p region, and a surplus of positive charges will accumulate in the (much thicker) n region. These two layers produce an electric field similar to that of a capacitor with infinite parallel plates. In equilibrium, the total number of positive charges in the n region is equal to the number of…
