Abstract

Homework assignment that combines basic PN junction electrostatic variable calculations (Vbi, Xn, Xp and Emax) with the simulation of PN junctions for 2 sets of doping conditions. Both forward and reverse bias conditions are simulated. This homework assignment is designed for junior level undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students enrolled in the first Electronic Devices course in the ECE curriculum.
