As an electronic engineer I am not an expert on semiconductor physics but I think I understand the basics of energy band diagrams reasonably well. It all fits together fairly neatly with the normal textbook assumption that we are looking at pure N-type or P-type doping. The problem I have is...
I am trying to understand some aspects of the depletion layer in a semiconductor diode and I have come across some questions that none of the textbooks I have seem to explain. Perhaps some of you could help? (I must add I am not a physisist but an electronics engineer, although I have been...
