Abstract The PN Junction: Long-Base Depletion Approximation tool is used to approximately calculate and then graph the distribution in an p- and n-type junction of:
  • Charge Density
  • Electric Field Intensity
  • Electrostatic Potential
  • Excess Carrier Concentration
  • Current Density
  • Current Density Amplitude
  • Depletion Width
  • Max Excess Hole Concentration
  • Max Excess Electrons Concentration
  • Junction Capacitance
  • 1 / C^2
