Problem
1 NA = 2 1016 cm 3 . What are the depletion width in the n-region, the depletion width in the p-region, and the built-in potential at 300K ? Use the
1 ND = 8 1015 cm 3
and
= 11.9.
Attention: The parameters are changing everytime. These results are calculated with the above mentioned values.
Useful formulas:
Permittivity:
=
Built-in voltage, contact potential:
(1)
Vbi =
Depletion width (no external bias):
kB T ND NA ln( ) e n2 i
(2)
W =
Depletion width in the p-region:
2 (ND + NA ) Vbi e ND NA ND W ND + NA NA W NA + ND
