Question: An abrupt Si p - n junction ( A = 1 0 - 4 cm 2 ) has the following properties at 3 0 0

An abrupt Si p-n junction (A =10-4 cm2) has the following properties at 300 K:
p side
n side
Na =1017 cm-3
Nd =1015 cm-3
n =0.1s
p =10s
p =200 cm2/V-s
n =1300 cm2/V-s
n =700 cm2/V-s
p =450 cm2/V-s
(a) Calculate pn and np
(b) Calculate Dn and Dp
(c) The junction is forward biased by 0.5 V. What is the current?
(d) What is the current at a reverse bias of 0.5 V?
