Open Circuit PN Diode

open circuit pn diode

What is Open Circuit PN Diode? Figure 1(a) shows an open circuited pn diode with acceptor impurity density NA in the p-region and donor impurity density ND in the n-region. We assume that each acceptor atom has ionized resulting in one immobile negatively charged acceptor ion and one mobile hole. Similarly, each donor atom has ionized resulting in one immobile positively charged donor ion and one mobile electron. In Figure 1(a) the immobile acceptor ion is indicated by a minus sign enclosed within a circle while immobile donor ion is…

In this Tutorial we are describing PN diode and types of PN Junction Diode. What is PN Junction Diode? A PN junction or P-N diode consists of a semiconductor having two regions, a p-region and n-region with a junction in between. The junction region or the transition region where the nature of the semiconductor material changes from p-type to n-type is usually very thin, typically 10-6 to 10-4 cm wide depending on the method of concentration. What are the types of PN Junction Diode? Depending on the method of construction,…
