For all diodes assume: W₁>> Lp and Wp>> Ln, unless otherwise indicated. T = 300
K.
1. A PN junction diode has a reverse saturation current of 1 μA. The resistivity of
the P region is 0.05 ohm-cm and that of the N region is 0.2 ohm-cm. Each region
is 1 mm long and has an area A = 0.5 mm². Include the IR drops in the P and N
regions and find the forward voltage, Va, for a) I = 1 mA; and b) I = 10 mA.
