Question: In a p + - n Si junction, the n - side has a donor concentration of 1 0 1 6 cm - 3 .

In a p+-n Si junction, the n-side has a donor concentration of 1016 cm-3. If ni=1010 cm-3, relative
dielectric constant r=12, calculate the depletion width at a reverse bias of 100 V. What is the
electric field at the mid-point of the depletion region on the n side? (Hints: (a) p+ means very
heavily doped. (b) under reverse bias the potential barrier height changes from V0 to V0-VR, where
VR =-100 V.(c) dielectric constant =0r, where 0 is vacuum dielectric constant, 8.8510-12 F/m.)
