By what percentage the reverse saturation current increases with 10 C rise in the temperature.(a) 25%(b) 12.5%(c) 50%(d) 7%This question was addressed to me during a job interview.My question comes from The Temperature Dependence of P-N Characteristics topic in division Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) 7%

The explanation is: As the temperature to the P-N junction diode increases the mobility of charges increases THUS increasing the current, the reverse saturation current increases by 7% with 10C RISE in temperature and DOUBLES with every 100C rise in temperature.
