A Si PN junction diode has constant doping at both sides, Na and Nd in P and N side, respectively. The width of the P side is W and the width of the N side is L: W << Le and L >> Lh. Le and Lh are the minority carrier diffusion length in each side. The lifetime of both minority carriers is τ. Assume the contacts at both ends of the PN junction are Omic contact. The PN junction...
