  1. The resistivities of the two sides of a step graded junction are 5Ω-cm (p-side) and 2·5Ω-cm (n-side). The height of potential barrier V0?
    (Given µp = 475 cm2/Vs and µn = 1500 cm2/Vs at room temperature of 300k and ni = 1·45 × 1010 atoms/cm3)
    1. 593·4 mV
    2. 593·4 mV
    3. 5·934 mV
    4. 59·34 mV
Correct Option: B

Given p = 5Ω cm, n = 2·5Ω cm, µp = 475 cm 2 /Vs, µn = 1500 cm 2 /V–s, ni = 1·45 × 10 10 atoms/cm 3
We know that n = nq µn

5 × 1·6 × 10–19 × 475

= 2·631 × 1015 atoms/cm3
Now, V0 = VT ln

593·4 mV
Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.
