    Barrier potential and width in a pn step junction, L-VI.

    Today we will discuss about the depletion region in greater detail than before. We will derive a quantitative relation among barrier potential and its width which are created in the depletion region, as discussed before. We will also derive an expression for the electric field that is established due to this potential. Lets first recall…
