Question:

(a) A germanium pn junction has a diode current of $I_{D}=1.5 \mathrm{~mA}$ when biased at $V_{D}=0.30 \mathrm{~V}$. What is the reverse-bias saturation current?

(b) Using the results of part (a), determine the diode current when the diode is biased at (i) $V_{D}=0.35 \mathrm{~V}$ and (ii) $V_{D}=0.25 \mathrm{~V}$.
