Question: A silicon p - n junction diode is fabricated with the following parameters: N ! = 1 0 #cm$ % , N& = 1

A silicon p-n junction diode is fabricated with the following parameters: N!=10"#cm$%, N& =10"'cm$%. the intrinsic carrier concentration is n(=1.510")cm$% at 300K. and the electron and hole mobility are *=1350cm+/V s,,=480cm+/V s respectively. Junction across area is 0.01 cm+; the electron lifetime in the p-region: *=1s, the hole lifetime in the n-region: ,=2s. a) calculation the diffusion coefficient for electron and hole (based on Einstein relationship) b) calculate the building voltage across the depletion region. c) calculate the current at biases including: -0.1V,0.3V and 0.7V
