1. What happens to the thickness of the depletion region in a PN junction when an external voltage is applied to a forward bias diode? 2. When “P” and “N” type semiconductor pieces are brought into close contact, free electrons from the “N” piece will rush over to fill holes in the “P” piece, creating a zone on both sides of the contact region devoid of charge carriers. What is this zone called, and what are its electrical characteristics 3. Is this diode forward-biased or reverse biased? Show soultion please, thanks.
Q2. Transistors are manufactured by doping semiconductors. The diffusion coefficient of phosphorus in Si is D = 6.5 x 10-11 mm2/s at a temperature of 950°C. Assume the source provides a surface concentration of 1020 atoms/cm3 and the diffusion time is one hour. Assume that the silicon wafer initially contains no phosphorus. Calculate the depth at which the concentration of phosphorus will be 1018 atoms/cm3.
