Q. As doping concentration increase,depletion width
Solution:
-
Process of adding impurity to a pure semiconductor is called doping.
-
Depending on the type of impurities added, the semiconductor can be classified into p-type or n-type.
-
When the p-n junction is formed a few electrons from the n-type diffuse through the junction and combines with the holes in the p-side to form negative ions and leaves behind positive ions in the n-side. This results in the formation of the depletion layer, which acts as the barrier and does not allow any further flow of electrons from the n region to the p region.
-
As doping increases,width of depletion layer decreases.
