Question: 1.) The current flowing through the semiconductor diode (shown below) is given by the equation: i D = I 0 (e (qv D )/(kT )

1.) The current flowing through the semiconductor diode (shown below) is given by the equation: i D = I 0 (e (qv D )/(kT ) 1 )

where i D = the current flow through diode in amps, v D = the voltage across the diode in volts,

I 0 =the leakage current of diode in amps, q = the charge on an electron, 1.602 X10^-19 Coulombs,

k = Boltzman constant, 1.38 X 10^-23 Joule/K, T = temperature, in Kelvins (K). The leakage current

I 0 of the diode is 2 X 10 ^-6 amps. Write a for loop to calculate the current flowing through the diode for all voltages from -1 V to 0.6 V, in steps of 0.1 V.

Repeat this process for three different temperatures: 75 o F, 100 o F and 125 o F. ( Note: K= (F - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15)

Create a plot of the current as a function of applied voltage with the curves for the three different temperatures using red, blue and green color in your plot using hold on and legend commands.
