3 Built-in Voltage Example: A pn junction with n-doping of cm 3 and p-doping of cm 3 " V 0 = V T ln N N % A D 2 ' = 0.88 V # n i & At pn junction, free electrons from n-side "recombine" with free holes from p-side. "Depletion region" has no electrons or holes, but has fixed (immobile) charges from donor and acceptor ions The fixed charges establish an electric field, and create a potential difference between p- and n-sides. This potential is called "built-in potential"! V 0 = V T ln N D # 2 & " n i % V T : thermal voltage (= 26 mv at room temp) : acceptor concentration on p-side N D : donor concentration on n-side n i : intrinsic carrier concentration (= cm 3 at room temp) 3

We can use V(x = 0) from the above equation for the first intgration.
