Which parameter does not affect the small-signal resistance of a diode?* a) Temperature b) Forward current c) Capacitance d) Frequency
Added by Manuela R.
Step 1
Small-signal resistance (r_d) of a diode is defined as the change in voltage across the diode divided by the change in current through the diode for small variations around a DC operating point. It is given by the formula: \[ r_d = \frac{dV}{dI} \] Show more…

For a junction diode, the ratio of forward current $\left(I_{f}\right)$ and reverse current is $\left[I_{e}=\right.$ electronic charge, $V=$ voltage applied across junction, $k=$ Boltzmann constant, $T=$ temperature in kelvin] (a) $\mathrm{e}^{-v / k T}$ (b) $e^{v / k T}$ (c) $\left(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{eV} / k T}-1\right)$ (d) $\left(e^{V / k T}-1\right)$

Round 1
A one-sided $\mathrm{p}^{+} \mathrm{n}$ silicon diode has doping concentrations of $N_{a}=4 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$ and $N_{d}=8 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$. The diode cross-sectional area is $A=5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} .(a)$ The maximum diffusion capacitance is to be limited to $1 \mathrm{nF}$. Determine ( $i$ ) the maximum current through the diode, (ii) the maximum forward-bias voltage, and (iii) the diffusion resistance. ( $b$ ) Repeat part $(a)$ if the maximum diffusion capacitance is limited to $0.25 \mathrm{nF}$.
The current voltage relation of diode is given by $I=\left(e^{1000 \mathrm{VI}}-1\right) \mathrm{mA}$, where the applied voltage $V$ is in volts and the temperature $T$ is in degree Kelvin. If a student makes an error measuring $\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~V}$ while measuring the current of $5 \mathrm{~mA}$ at $300 \mathrm{~K}$, what will be the error in the value of current in $\mathrm{mA} ?$ (A) $0.2 \mathrm{~mA}$ (B) $0.252 \mathrm{~mA}$ (C) $0.5 \mathrm{~mA}$ (D) $0.05 \mathrm{~mA}$
