(a)

To determine

The graph showing the valence and conduction band edges and fermi energy of a pn -junction diode when biased in the forward direction.

(b)

To determine

The graph showing the valence and conduction band edges and Fermi energy of a pn -junction diode when biased in the reverse direction.

How does the depletion region of a p-n junction diode get affected under reverse bias?
Can we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another n-type semiconductor to get p-n junction?
What is the probability that, at a temperature of T = 300 K, an electron will jump across the energy gap Eg (= 5.5 eV) in a diamond that has a mass equal to the mass of Earth? Use the molar mass of carbon in Appendix F; assume that in diamond there is one valence electron per carbon atom.
