    Problem Set 2: pn-Juction and DC Circuits

    Put (T) on the true statement or (F) on the false statement. You should provide the
    correct statement for the false one.

    1 At thermal equilibrium, the total current through a 𝑝𝑛 junction is zero because the electron current
    is balanced by the hole current.
    2 The built-in potential increases as the doping on both sides of the junction are increased.
    3 As the temperature is increased, the built-in potential is decreased.
    4 Under forward bias, a reduction in potential barrier is associated with an increase of the diffusion
    current.
    5 The reverse saturation current is due to the drift of minority carriers through the depletion layer.
    6 For the same doping, the cut-in voltage (built in voltage) of a diode made of low energy gap
    semiconductor is higher than that of a diode made of high energy gap semiconductor.
    7 Increasing reverse bias above few millivolts suppresses the diffusion current and does not
    significantly affect the drift current.
    8 The p-n junction reverse saturation current is controlled by diffusion of minority carriers towards
    the depletion region.
