Let’s follow Alex, a junior in EE. He understands the physics of a PN junction qualitatively—holes diffuse, electrons diffuse, depletion region forms. But when Neamen asks, "Design a silicon PN junction diode that has a breakdown voltage of 50V and a capacitance of 1 pF at reverse bias of 10V," Alex is lost.
The manual follows the structure of the textbook, providing clarity on several critical pillars of semiconductor physics: Let’s follow Alex, a junior in EE
The Schrödinger wave equation applied to simple potentials. Fermi-Dirac statistics and the calculation of Fermi levels. 2. The PN Junction Let’s follow Alex
