Homework assignments are an essential part of the education process, as they help students practice

and reinforce the concepts they have learned in class. However, there are times when certain topics
or assignments can be particularly challenging, and one such topic is PN junctions.

PN junctions are a fundamental concept in semiconductor physics and are crucial in the functioning
of electronic devices. They involve the interaction between p-type and n-type semiconductors,
forming a barrier that allows the flow of current in only one direction. Understanding the behavior of
PN junctions is crucial for students pursuing degrees in electrical engineering, physics, and other
related fields.

However, despite its importance, writing homework on PN junctions can be a daunting task for many
students. It requires a deep understanding of the topic, as well as the ability to apply theoretical
concepts to practical problems. Moreover, it can be time-consuming, leaving students feeling
overwhelmed and stressed.

Conduct current. Electrons tend to fill up the low energy bands first. Some charge carriers combine
with opposite charges to neutralise each other. We ensure premium quality solution document along
with free turntin report. Electrons and holes concentration are reported respectively with blue and
red lines. Due to the reduced voltage, it makes sense that the electric field would drop in the pin
junction. The regions nearby the PN interfaces lose their neutrality and become charged, forming the
space charge region or depletion layer. Sketch the forward- and reverse-biased current-voltage
characteristics. This means that hole currents will be equal i.e. due to diffusion and drift of holes. In

junctions are formed by combining p-type and Ntype semiconductors together. This diode is

temperature, the drift current (I S ) magnitude changes with the temperature and is independent of
barrier voltage. Full description Save Save Working of a P-N junction For Later 0% 0% found this

long this takes?) the net electric field (or the built in potential) will prevent further diffusion of
electrons and holes. The larger the barrier voltage, the smaller the number of carriers that will be able
to diffuse to constitute the diffusion current. These are avail for subscribed users and they can get
advantages anytime. Thus the region is formed, which does not contain any mobile charge very close
to the junction. The minority holes in the N-type region, near the PN junction, experiences the electric
field and diffuse into the P-type region. These regions are further connected to external wires
through aluminum contacts. The concentration of holes is high in the P-type region compared to the
concentration of holes in the N-type. This electric field, actually, opposes the diffusion of majority
carriers into other regions and the voltage developed, due to this field, acts as a barrier. The direction
of this drift current (I S ) is from N-type to P-type. This flow of holes from N-type to P-type and of
electrons from P-type to N-type constitutes a drift current (I S ). We also get your email address to

diffuse into P-type regions, and, similarly, some of the majority holes diffuse into the N-type region.
This happens due to the overlapping of the conduction band with the fermi energy level Nathaniel
dot org is the P p N junction semiconductor diode in which both N and P regions are highly doped.
A p-doped semiconductor is relatively conductive, but the junction between them is a nonconductor.
P region has high concentration of holes and N region contains large the number of electrons. This
equilibrium condition is maintained by the depletion voltage. The built-in potential, Vbi When the
junction is formed, electrons from the n-side and holes from the p-side will diffuse leaving behind
charged dopant atoms.Remember that the dopant atoms cannot move. For example, if there is an
increase in I D then the more majority carriers will diffuse into other regions which will uncover more
bound charges, ultimately, widening the depletion layer. And if we are forward by as the diode will
show in the right figure the conduction band and formula level in the end region overlaps where you
feel electron present on the inside in the conduction band. In this process immobile positive ions are
collected at a junction toward n region and negative ions at a junction toward p-region. This means
that the conduction band overlaps with the Fermi level in the n region. These both diffusions
constitute a diffusion current (I D ) from the P-type to N-type region. In other words, there will be
drift and diffusion currents such that net electron and hole currents will be zero. Topics: PN

Why. Taking the derivative with respect to Va will give you the following equation. Sketch the
forward- and reverse-biased current-voltage characteristics. Electrons will leave behind positively
charged donor atoms and holes will leave behind negatively charged acceptor atoms. The net result is
the build up of an electric field from the positively charged atoms to the negatively charged atoms,
i.e., from the n-side to p-side. We know that initially we have 1 electron, and at the end we have 2
electrons and one hole. Deviations of from unity represent an important measure for the
recombination current. Due to this term, the capacitance is much lower due to the depletion region
being wider. This disappearance of electrons in N-type, near the PN junction, depletes the region
from electrons. Forward Bias --- External battery makes the Anode more positive than the Cathode -

concentration of holes and N region contains large the number of electrons. There are two concurrent
phenomena: the diffusion process that tends to generate more space charge and the electric field

This no conducting layer, called the depletion zone, occurs because the electrical charge carriers in

possesses some interesting properties which have useful applications in modern electronics. This sets
up a potential difference called potential barrier and hence an internal electric field E i across the
junctions. Calculate analytically and verify via simulations the values of the: (a) Built-in voltage V bi

junction from N- region into P-region, recombine with the holes in P-region very close to junction.
The concentration of holes is high in the P-type region compared to the concentration of holes in the
