Reverse Saturation Current ,Is Formula

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the calculation of the reverse saturation current (Is) in the context of VLSI studies and static power consumption. The user inquires about a formula for Is, referencing the equation I = Is [e^(qv/kt) - 1]. It is clarified that Is is typically provided in homework problems, and if the question requires finding Is, additional variables must be supplied. The conversation emphasizes the need for context in determining Is, particularly in homework scenarios. Understanding the relationship between Is and other variables is crucial for accurate calculations in VLSI applications.

Homework Statement



I am work on VLSI study currently and I am having problem in the static power consumption.

Homework Equations



I have an equation here, I= Is [e^qv/kt - 1] and I just wish to know is there any formula for calculation the Is.

Welcome to Physics Forums.

First, I have moved your post from the Introductory Physics subforum to the Engineering, Comp Sci, & Technology subforum.

Second: is this for a homework assignment? (If not, there is yet another forum to move it to...)

Thirdly, I'll actually address the question you asked :smile:! As far as I know, the value of Is is usually given in any homework question using that formula -- unless the question is asking you to find Is, in which case the other variables would have to be given to you.
 
There's a formula for Is. But I can't tell you if it is a homework problem.
