Document Summary
Charge in either side in the depletion region. Width of depletion region: dielectric constant of si. One side of the junction is usually much more heavily doped pn junction with a bias voltage. Forward bias is when p region is forced to be at a higher voltage. Charge stored in one side of depletion region junction. A diode is a voltage-controlled capacitor (varactor) and are operated with reverse bia (above equation only applies to reverse bias) In the pn junction (depletion region), depletion region equilibrium concentration in p region equilibrium concentration in n region equilibrium concentration in n region equilibrium concentration in p region. = diffusion length; = minority carrier life time. # of dimensionless variables = # of parameters - # of primary dimensions. Make sure repeated variables are not dimensionless and has all the primary dimensions. Friction factor in turbulent flow: look on moody chart roughness, pipe diameter. Minor losses: loss coefficient; look up in table.
