GATE EC 2016 Set 1 Q36 — Electronic Devices

Explain with AI
Consider a silicon p−np-n junction with a uniform acceptor doping concentration of 1017cm−310^{17} cm^{-3} on the pp-side and a uniform donor doping concentration of 1016cm−310^{16}cm^{-3} on the nn-side. No external voltage is applied to the diode. Given: kT/q=26 mVkT/q = 26 \: mV, ni=1.5×1010cm−3n_i = 1.5 \times 10^{10} cm^{-3} , ϵSi=12ε0\epsilon_{Si} = 12 \varepsilon_0, ε0=8.85×10−14F/m\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-14} F/m, and q=1.6×10−19 Cq = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \: C.

The charge per unit junction area(nC cm−2nC \: cm^{-2}) in the depletion region on the pp-side is  _________
