Question: A PN * silicon diode has N . = 1 0 1 6 cm 3 in P and N , = 1 0 1 8

A PN* silicon diode has N.=1016 cm 3 in P and N,=1018 cm3 in N, T,= E,=1 us and A =1.2x104 cm?. Determine: (a) the conductivities of the P and N regions; (b) the diode current when the applied voltage in the reverse direction is 0.01 V; (c) under V.=0.3 V, the excess minority carrier concentration at x'=1 um in N; (d) under V.=0.5 V, the electron current at x'=1 um in the N region.
