Q#1 PN Junction Theory GATE EC 2025 (Set 1) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

An ideal p-n junction germanium diode has a reverse saturation current of  at 300 K.

The voltage (in Volts, rounded off to two decimal places) to be applied across the junction to get a forward bias current of 100 mA at 300 K is _______.

(Consider the Boltzmann constant  and the charge of an electron .)

Explanation:

Given: forward bias current,  

Reverse saturation current,

 

 

Thermal Voltage,

 

 

 

 

 

for -diode, ideality factor
