Question

an-n diode is built with an n region width I smaller than a hole th(l < L). This is the so-called narrow base diode. Since for are injected into a short n region under forward bias, we cannot use the assumption δp(,-o)-0 in Eq. (4-35). Instead, we must use asa the cuiclll iffusion leng his case holes boundary condition the fact that op -0 at x Solve the diffusion equation to obtain (b) Show that the current in the diode is
