Here's an non-US suggestion.
First of all, being at Leicester I imagine that you have (or had) an interest in space exploration as well as pure physics/planetary science.
I would suggest that you do change to the BSc and do a separate MSc, not least because of the following.
If you have an...
Ok. Thanks very much. I'll look for that book. I've never heard them called P \pi N before (just non-ideal PIN or PPN (& PNN))! Cheers.
FWIW, they're experimental diodes from another lab we're reverse biasing and using for X-ray spectroscopy rather than their original purpose. I'm trying...
Thanks marcusl!
What do you do when you don't have an ideal I layer?
For example, I have some diodes here where the I layer isn't really undoped, but rather it has an unitentional doping (~1016 cm-3 (P type), compared with ~1018 cm-3 for the P and N layers).
The I layer is still << doped...
Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a reliable formula for calculating the depletion depth in a PIN diode at a given voltage and knowing the doping of the layers. Does anyone have one? Formulae for the PN diode are common, but don't apply to the PIN directly as far as I can see.
I found a formula...
