Semiconducting Devices Question 235
Question: The depletion layer in silicon diode is 1 mm wide and the knee potential is 0.6 V, then the electric field in the depletion layer will be
Options:
A) Zero
B) 0.6 ${Vm^{-1}}$
C) 6 x 104 V/m
D) 6 x 105 V/m
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
By using $ E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{0.6}{{{10}^{-6}}}=6\times 10^{5}V/m $
