Expert Solution
Step 1

P-N junction-

Open circuited PN junction.
When P-type and N-type semiconductors are joined by using the VLSI method then a P-N junction is formed.
The hole is majority carrier on the p-side and minority on the n-side due to concentration gradient holes will move from P to N.
1-This region is known as the depletion region.
2-It is also known as the space charge region. 
3-It is also known as the space charge region.
