Consider a hypothetical layer of silicon that has an n-type impurity concentration of 10 17 cm 3
Question:
Consider a hypothetical layer of silicon that has an n-type impurity concentration of 1017 cm−3 at the top surface, and in which the impurity concentration decreases exponentially with distance into the silicon. Assume that the concentration has decreased to 1/e of its surface value at a depth of 0.5 μm, and that the impurity concentration in the sample before the insertion of the n-type impurities was 1015 cm−3 p-type. Determine the depth below the surface of the pn junction that results and determine the sheet resistance of the n-type layer. Assume a constant electron mobility of 800 cm2/V-s. Assume that the width of the depletion layer is negligible.
