Question: Q 3 ( a ) [ 1 2 Marks ] Consider a p + n silicon diode with an intrinsic carrier concentration of 1 .

Q 3(a)[12 Marks] Consider a p +n silicon diode with an intrinsic carrier concentration of 1.5 x 1010 cm-3. The doping is given by NA=1018 cm-3 and Nd=1017 cm-3.(i) Calculate the minority carrier concentration on each side of the junction. (ii) If the recombination time for electrons and holes is 1 x 10-6 s, and Dn and Dp are 20 cm2/s and 10 cm2/s respectively, calculate the electron and hole diffusion lengths.
