Multiple choice

The doping concentrations on the p-side and n-side of a silicon diode are 1 x 1016 cm-3 and 1 x 1017 cm-3, respectively. A forward bias of 0.3 V is applied to the diode. At T = 300 K, the intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon ni = 1.5 x 1010 cm-3 and $\frac{kT}{q}$ = 26 m V. The electron concentration at the edge of the depletion region on the p-side is

  1. 2.3 x 109 cm-3

  2. 1 x 1016 cm-3

  3. 1 x 1017 cm-3

  4. 2.25 x 106 cm-3
