Explanation of Solution

Given information: Th first symbol i.e. Euler’s number is e , the second symbol i.e. magnitude of electron charge is e , Boltzmann’s constant is kB , the absolute temperature is T , the value of current across a semiconductor diode temperature 0K is 1.00nA .

It is given that the expression for the current-voltage characteristic curve for a semiconductor diode as a function of temperature T is,

I=I0(eeΔVkBT1) (1)

Here,

I is the current across a semiconductor diode temperature TK .

I0 is the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 0K .

e is the first symbol i.e.Euler’s number.

e is the second symbol i.e. magnitude of electron charge.

kB is the Boltzmann’s constant.

ΔV is the voltage across the diode.

T is the absolute temperature.

Formula to calculate the resistance across the diode is,

R=ΔVI (2)

Here,

R is the resistance across the diode.

The value of magnitude of electron charge is 1.602×1019C .

The value of Boltzmann’s constant is 1.38×1023J/K .

The value of voltage across the diode varies from 0.400V to 0.600V in increments of 0.005V .

From equation (1), formula to calculate the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 280K is,

I1=I0(eeΔV1kBT1) (3)

Here,

I1 is the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 280K .

ΔV1 is the initial voltage across the diode for temperature 280K .

Substitute 1.602×1019C for e , 1.38×1023J/K for kB , 0.400V for ΔV1 , 280K for T in equation (3) to find I1 ,

I1=(1.00nA×1A109nA)(e(1.602×1019C)(0.400V)(1.38×1023J/K)(280K)1)=0.15932A

Thus, the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 280K is 0.15932A .

From equation (2), formula to calculate the resistance across the diode is,

R1=ΔV1I1 (4)

Here,

R1 is the resistance across the diode.

Substitute 0.15932A for I1 , 0.400V for ΔV1 in equation (4) to find R1 ,

R1=0.400V0.15932A=25.1067Ω

Thus, the resistance across the diode is 25.1067Ω .

As the value of voltage across the diode varies from 0.400V to 0.600V in increments of 0.005V , the values for the current and resistance are calculated by same procedure as above.

Thus, a spreadsheet for I and R=ΔVI for ΔV=0.400Vto0.600V in increments of 0.005V for T=280K is,

From equation (1), formula to calculate the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 300K is,

I1=I0(eeΔV1kBT1) (5)

Here,

I1 is the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 300K .

ΔV1 is the voltage across the diode for temperature 300K .

Substitute 1.602×1019C for e , 1.38×1023J/K for kB , 0.400V for ΔV1 , 300K for T in equation (5) to find I1 ,

I1=(1.00nA×1A109nA)(e(1.602×1019C)(0.400V)(1.38×1023J/K)(300K)1)=0.005274A

Thus, the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 300K is 0.005274A .

From equation (2), formula to calculate the resistance across the diode is,

R1=ΔV1I1 (6)

Here,

R1 is the resistance across the diode.

Substitute 0.005274A for I1 , 0.400V for ΔV1 in equation (6) to find R1 ,

R1=0.400V0.005274A=75.84672Ω

Thus, the resistance across the diode is 75.84672Ω .

As the value of voltage across the diode varies from 0.400V to 0.600V in increments of 0.005V , the values for the current and resistance are calculated by same procedure as above.

Thus, a spreadsheet for I and R=ΔVI for ΔV=0.400Vto0.600V in increments of 0.005V for T=300K is,

From equation (1), formula to calculate the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 320K is,

I1=I0(eeΔV1kBT1) (7)

Here,

I1 is the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 320K .

ΔV1 is the voltage across the diode for temperature 320K .

Substitute 1.602×1019C for e , 1.38×1023J/K for kB , 0.400V for ΔV , 320K for T in equation (7) to find I1 ,

I1=(1.00nA×1A109nA)(e(1.602×1019C)(0.400V)(1.38×1023J/K)(320K)1)=0.002004A

Thus, the current across a semiconductor diode temperature 320K is 0.002004A .

From equation (2), formula to calculate the resistance across the diode is,

R1=ΔV1I1 (8)

Here,

R1 is the resistance across the diode.

Substitute 0.002004A for I1 , 0.400V for ΔV1 in equation (8) to find R1 ,

R1=0.400V0.002004A=199.5582Ω

Thus, the resistance across the diode is 199.5582Ω .

As the value of voltage across the diode varies from 0.400V to 0.600V in increments of 0.005V , the values for the current and resistance are calculated by same procedure as above.
