| 1. | The width of the depletion region grows larger with higher voltage.
|
| 2. | The high doping reduces the length of the depletion region because
|
| 3. | Hence, electrons can easily tunnel through the depletion region.
|
| 4. | Inside the depletion region, both diffusion current and drift current are present.
|
| 5. | It also assumes that the R G current in the depletion region is insignificant.
|
| 6. | This is called a " depletion region ".
|
| 7. | With increased doping of the semiconductor, the width of the depletion region drops.
|
| 8. | Below a certain width, the charge carriers can tunnel through the depletion region.
|
| 9. | Because the total charge on either side of the depletion region must cancel out.
|
| 10. | The charge generation rate is related to specific crystallographic defects within the depletion region.
