We consider a half-infinite bar of p-type silicon, as shown in the figure below, with a "minority carrier digester" at (x=0), such that the electron concentration, np, at this location is zero (i.e., np(x=0)=0). This bar is uniformly illuminated and as a result carriers are generated at a rate g′. The electric field in the bar is zero and we consider a steady-state situation. The expression for the excess minority carrier concentration as a function of x is given by:

Answer ASAP, I'll upvote. Thanks. Take the first part of the energy band figure shown below where material A is attached to material B. If a positive voltage was applied to A, and B was attached to ground, is the AB junctionforward-biased or reverse-biased?
