1. What happens to the thickness of the depletion region in a PN junction when an external voltage is applied to a forward bias diode? 2. When “P” and “N” type semiconductor pieces are brought into close contact, free electrons from the “N” piece will rush over to fill holes in the “P” piece, creating a zone on both sides of the contact region devoid of charge carriers. What is this zone called, and what are its electrical characteristics 3. Is this diode forward-biased or reverse biased? Show soultion please, thanks.

exist is for valence electrons to "leap" into the conduction band with the Enoiteou Question 5 pplication of sufficient energy, legving a hole, or vacancy, behind in the valence band: Valence electron leaping into conduction band Conduction band valence band With sufficient thermal energy, these electron-hole pairs will form spontaneously. Af room temperature, however, this activity is slight. we may greatly enhance charge carrier formation by adding specific impurities to the semiconducting material. The energy states of atoms having different electron configurations do not precisely "blend" with the electron bands of the parent semiconductor crystal, causing additional energy levels to form. Some types of impurities will cause extra donor electrons to lurk just beneath the main conduction band of the crystal. These types of impurities are called pentavalent, because they have 5 valence electrons per atom rather than 4 as the parent substance typically possesses: Doped with a…
