Hi,
everywhere I look for the equation describing the current of a diode, I get
I=I0exp(qvb/nkt-1)
n=1 for ideal case. for non-ideal diode you got values between 1-2.
in order to calculate n you have the equation: n=1+kt/(2*q*phi)
(phi=contact barrier height)
anyone knows how to derive this equation for n?
thanks.
