Reverse Saturation Current ,Is Formula

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the calculation of the reverse saturation current (Is) in the context of VLSI studies. The relevant equation provided is I = Is [e^(qv/kt) - 1], where Is is typically supplied in homework problems unless specifically requested. Participants clarified that Is can be derived from other variables in the equation, emphasizing the need for those variables to be known for accurate calculation.

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.

The Attempt at a Solution

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.
