Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a p-n junction diode with a large applied forward voltage. Explain the expected behavior of the current and what it indicates about the state of the junction.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the relationship between voltage and current in a diode.

Question 2

Calculate the thickness of the depletion region if the concentration of dopants in the n-side is 10^15/cm^3 and in the p-side is 5x10^14/cm^3. Assume ideal conditions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look at the relationships between doping levels and depletion width.
