Question:

A "good" silicon diode has the current–voltage characteristic given in Problem 49. Let kT = 0.025 eV (room temperature) and the saturation current I0 = 1 nA.

(a) Show that for small reverse-bias voltages, the resistance is 25 MΩ.

(b) Find the dc resistance for a reverse bias of 0.5 V.

(c) Find the dc resistance for a 0.5-V forward bias. What is the current in this case?

(d) Calculate the ac resistance dV/dI for a 0.5-V forward bias.
