Special Problem (20) Consider a Si p*-n diode at 300 K with Na = 5 1017 cm-3 on the p-side and Na = 1 1016cm-3. The cross-sectional area of the diode is 1 cm2. Assume both the n and p-side widths are long' compared to the minority carrier diffusion lengths. Assume Tp = Tn = 5 10-6 s, and the diffusion coefficients for holes
- s. The series resistance due to the bulk and
contacts is 2 . Using Excel, Matlab, Python, or your other favorite package, calculate and plot on a semi-log plot the forward bias current including recombination current and series resistance effects up to l.0 V forward bias (applied to the terminals of the diode. not across the junction). Neglect high-level injection effects on the I-V characteristics but indicate on the plot where high-level inject will start to occur.
