Problem 3(20 points)
A P-N junction is created by doping the left side of a piece of silicon with 1017 atoms ?cm3 of phosphorus and the right side with 1017 atoms/cm ?3 of boron. Assume that the dopants are fully ionized, and assume the junction is at x=0 with x+ pointed to the right. Assume that the band gap of silicon is EE=1.12eV, and that Eg,EC,EV, and EFi do not change with temperature.
Assume that the intrinsic carrier concentration in silicon (Si) varies according to the following plot:
TEMPERATUREINK
a) Calculate values of EF-EFi on the N side and EFiEF=0 the P side for this junction at 300 K .(4 pts)
b) Sketch (by hand, roughly to scale) an energy diagram for this P-N junction at 300 K . Label the P and N-sides, and label EC,Ev,EF,EF Also label the values of EF-EFi on the N side and EF-EF on the P side that you calculated in a) above. (4 pts)
c) Calculate values of EF-EFi on the N side and EFiEF on the P side for this junction at 1000 K .(4 pts)
d) Sketch (by hand, roughly to scale) an energy diagram for this P-N junction at 1000K. Label the Pand N-sides, and label EC,EV,EFi,EF. Also label the values of EF-EFi on the N side and EFi-EF on the P side that you calculated in c) above. (4 pts)
