An abrupt Si p-n junction has N, = 100” on one side and Ng =5x 10 ला on
the other. If the junction has a circular cross section with a diameter of 10um,
Calculate Vo, 5.० | ©+, and €o for this junction at equilibrium (300 K).
PART C
Answer any two full questions, each carries20 marks.
Derive the expression for minority carrier distribution and terminal currents in a
BJT. State the assumptions used.
Explain the basic performance parameters a, B & y.
Assume that a p-n-p transistor is doped such that the emitter doping is 10 times
that in the base, the minority carrier mobility in the emitter is one-half that in the
base, and the base width is one-tenth the minority carrier diffusion length. The
carrier lifetimes are equal. Calculate ൨ and 8 for this transistor.
Derive the expression for drain current at linear region and saturation for a
MOSFET.
An Al-gate p-channel MOS transistor is made on an n-type Si substrate with Na =
55107 ' cm 3. The 510) thickness is 100 A in the gate region, and the effective
interface charge Q; is 5 x 1010 q Clem’. Find Wm. Ves , and ۷ if the gate to
substrate work function difference Dms = -0.15V
Draw and explain the transfer characteristics of an n-channel MOSFET.
Explain the principle of operation of MOS capacitor with suitable energy band
diagram.
Explain base width modulation. Explain its effect on terminal currents.
