Consider carrier transport in a Zener diode in the breakdown region. Which is the dominant transport mechanism for current flow in this case?
Consider a p-n junction diode when it is forward biased with 2 V . Which of the following is/are the correct magnitude(s) of the energy difference between quasi Fermi-levels, $E_{f n}$ in the n -side and $E_{f p}$ in the $p$-side?
A silicon $P-N$ junction is shown in the figure. The doping in the $P$ region is $5 \times 10^{16} \mathrm{~cm}^3$ and doping in the $N$ region is $10 \times 10^{-16} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$. The parameters given are
Built-in voltage $\left(\phi_{b i}\right)=0.8 \mathrm{~V}$
Electro charge $(q)=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}$
Vacuum permittivity of silicon $\left(\varepsilon_{s i}\right)=12$
The magnitude of reverse bias voltage that would completely deplete one of the two regions ( $P$ or $N$ ) prior to the other (rounded off to one decimal place) is $\_\_\_\_$ V.
Consider the recombination process via bulk traps in a forward biased $p n$ homojunction diode. The maximum recombination rate is $U_{\max }$. If the electron and the hole capture cross sections are equal, which one of the following is FALSE?
