5.6 Deviations from the Simple Theory
The approach we have taken in studying p-n junctions has focused on the basic principles of operation, neglecting secondary effects. This allows for a relatively uncluttered view of carrier injection and other junction properties, and illuminates the essential features of diode operation. To complete the description, however, we must now fill in a few details which can affect the operation of junction devices under special circumstances.
Most of the deviations from the simple theory can be treated by fairly straightforward modifications of the basic equations. In this section we shall investigate the most important deviations and alter the theory wherever possible. In a few cases, we shall simply indicate ...
