3.1 THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM CONDITION
3.4 CURRENT-VOLTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
In the preceding chapters we considered the carrier concentrations and transport phenomena in homogeneous semiconductor materials. In this chapter we discuss the behavior of single-crystal semiconductor material containing both p- and n-type regions that form a p–n junction.
A p–n junction serves an important role both in modern electronic applications and in understanding ...
