A Si p- n junction with cross sectional area A= 0.01cm? is formed with N3=2x1017 cm3, Na=
1017cm3. Calculate: a) contact potential b) the depletion region width and c) the junction
capacity at 0 and -2 Volts.
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 =?)
