PN Junction Example: Depletion Width, E-Field
If you've felt like the content here has been helpful, please consider donating to UCI with a mention of this channel: https://give.uci.edu/ In this video I give an example of how to calculate the depletion width, electric field, and built-in potential of a P/N junction diode given a certain doping concentration and temperature. This is part of my series on semiconductor physics (often called Electronics 1 at university). This is based on the book Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Donald Neamen, as well as the EECS 170A/174 courses taught at UC Irvine. Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
