ECSE-2210 Microelectronics Technology Homework 6
Reading list: Chapters 7, 8 and 10(pages 301-318, 327-338, 371 - 386). Hand in your solutions in class.
N D = 4 × 10^16 cm- D n = 25cm^2 /s; D p = 10 cm^2 /s
Area A = 1 cm^2
Answer the following:
a. The diode is biased in the forward direction such that the forward voltage V A = 0.6 V. Calculate the low-frequency diffusion capacitance, and the low frequency conductance of the diode. Draw the equivalent circuit of the diode at low frequency. b. The diode is biased in reverse such that the applied voltage | V A| = 20 V. Calculate the reverse bias capacitance (Hint: you can neglect V bi ). Draw the equivalent circuit, assuming an ideal diode. Explain briefly how the circuit will change if we start considering the non-ideal behavior of the diode.
