Question: A p - n junction with horizontal distance x set to be zero at the metallurgical junction, has the edge of the depletion region on

A p-n junction with horizontal distance x set to be zero at the metallurgical junction, has the edge of the depletion region on the p-type side at lp and in the n-type side at +ln. The acceptor concentration in p-type is NA and the donor concentration in n-type is ND.(i) Using the depletion approximation, derive expressions for the electric field variation across the junction in both the p-type and n-type sides. (ii) Hence, or otherwise, show that NAlp = NDln.
