Due to the electron drift velocity higher than the hole drift velocity, electron transport dominates the current transport. This current equation of PN junctions will benefit to better physically understand the current transport in semiconductor materials and devices. It is also helpful to improve ...
◆ Reverse-Bias Breakdown 6. pn Junction Diode ◆ Reverse-Bias Breakdown - Large reverse current flows when the reverse voltage exceeds a certain value : reversible process 1. Avalanching process : typical 2. Zener process : Only when both sides of the junction doped heavily - Breakdown voltage...
By evaluating the diffusion currents of electrons and holes across the junction, it can be shown that the current-voltage characteristic of the diode is given by (Eq. 21)I=qA[(Dp/Lp)pn+(Dn/Ln)np](eqV/kT−1) Equation 21 is called the diode equation, which describes the total current...

20、gles are of equal size,The equation,21,The distribution of electric field in the depletion region is shown below,22,3) Potential in the depletion layer,The potential in the junction is found by integrating the electrical field. In the p region, we have that yields We arbitrarily choose...
Junction Voltage Under the open-terminal condition, the voltage across the depletion layer or the barrier voltage will be: The above equation shows that the barrier voltage is dependent on thedoping concentrationsas well as on thetemperature. It is worth mentioning here that for silicon, the PN-...
are continuous functions through the pn junction, the total pn junction current will be the minority carrier hole diffusion current at x = xn plus the minority carrier electron diffusion current at x = -xp.This is called an ideal diode equation (where is the reverse-saturation current density....
We calculated the multiplication factor of such layer-junction device, according to the equation \({{{\mathrm{M}}} = \frac{{I_{ph} - I_d}}{{I_{bg}}}\), where Iph represents the photocurrent, Id is the dark current and Ibg denotes the net-photocurrent when M = 1. It is ...
