In this chapter, a brief description of the basic concepts governing the flow of [size=9.96001pt]current in a pn junction are discussed. Both intrinsic and extrinsic semicon+ T6 }- x0 Q) l6 w! n( F
ductors are discussed. The characteristics of depletion and diffusion capaci[size=9.96001pt]tance are explored through the use of example problems solved with+ v; z; A- U5 T' R4 V- A
MATLAB. The effect of doping concentration on the breakdown voltage of[size=9.96001pt]pn junctions is examined.
