With the aid of simple diagrams, show how different band energy ranges in solids can produce conductors, insulators, and semiconductors. Describe the nature and behavior of a simple PN junction.
This energy represents the energy needed to get charges to flow across the junction, and it is smaller than the corresponding energy in the case of the unbiased junction. For a reverse biased pn junct...This energy represents the energy needed to get charges to flow across the junction, and it is smaller than the corresponding energy in the case of the unbiased junction. For a reverse biased pn junction, the voltage across the junction \(V_0 + V_x\) is larger than for an unbiased junction, and the energy needed for charges to flow \(q (V_0 + V_x)\) is larger than for an unbiased junction.
