Depletion Region of a FET
So I finally Dived into understanding the P-N Junction and Field Effect Transistors. (this may almost be teetering on the "Physics portion" of electronics, but it's still mainly for understanding the ...

Understanding reverse biased PN junction
I'm trying to understand a reverse biased PN junction, conceptually. For reference, I'll adopt the convention that the P-type is on the left, and N-type is on the right. So without a bias, the ...

Excess minority carrier concentrations at the edges of the depletion layer
In a pn juction how do the excess minority carrier concentrations at the edges of the depletion layer p'(xn ),n'(−xp ) depend on the forward-bias voltage? Are these the maximum concentrations of the ...

Light levels affecting IV curves for a Diode
I conducted an experiment to work out the saturation current under reverse bias for a diode in three different scenarios, ambient lighting, low light levels and high light levels. Is there an equation ...
