1. For the following material parameters, estimate: (1) which version of the saturation current you should use (e.g., wide base, narrow base, or generalized); and (2) if you would expect the electron or hole diffusion current to be larger (or if they are the same). The pn junction is made from silicon, with ni =11010 cm-3 and EG (at 300K)=1.12 eV. You dont need to calculate each case, look at the magnitudes of the parameters.
N-type material parameters
ND =11016 cm-3 ; Dp =15 cm^2/s; Thickness =20m; tp =1000 ms; S =1103 cm/sec
P-type material parameters
NA =51018 cm-3 ; Dn =40 cm^2/s; Thickness =200m; tn =100 ms; S =10 cm/sec
