Step 1
- Depletion: This occurs when a voltage is applied to the junction, causing the bands to bend downwards, creating a depletion region. - Inversion: This occurs when a strong voltage is applied to the junction, causing the bands to bend upwards, creating an Show more…

A metal contact to a n-type semiconductor can be considered as a p-n junction with NA and Np. Draw an energy band diagram of the contact showing the Schottky barrier e and the depletion width d. Then draw the energy band diagram in forward and reverse biased conditions. Indicate how the +V or -V bias affects the contact potential and the depletion width. Explain how the bias changes the forward current due to the injection of electrons from the semiconductor into the metal, and the reverse current Io from the flow of metal free carriers into the semiconductor. Show that the rectifying behavior is just like that in a p-n junction.

a) Sketch the band diagram for Si doped with P at T > 0 K. b) Label the conduction and valence bands, and also Ec, Ev, Eg, and the donor and acceptor levels, as applicable. c) State the numerical values for Eg, Ec - Ed or Ea - Ev, as applicable. d) Indicate if the semiconductor is p-type or n-type and identify the majority carriers as applicable.

1.pn junction when forward bias is applied Draw the energy band diagram. Explain all the quasi fermi levels in the depletion region and why they are so drawn. 2.pn junction when reverse bias is applied Draw the energy band diagram. Explain all the quasi fermi levels in the depletion region and why they are so drawn.
