Question: A pn junction has Na = 1 0 2 0 cm 3 acceptor atoms and Nd = 1 0 1 7 cm 3 donor atoms.

A pn junction has Na =1020cm3 acceptor atoms and Nd =1017cm3 donor atoms. The intrinsic charge carrier concentration is ni =1010 cm3,=11.7, and kT/e =0.259V. Calculate: (a) the built-in potential, (b) the width of the depletion layer, (c) the width of the depletion layer in the n-type region of the junction, (d) the width of the depletion layer in the p-type side of the junction. (e) Comment on the widths calculated in part (c) and (d).[2][2][3][1][2]
