Describe briefly, with the help of a diagram, the role of the two important processes involved in the formation of a p-n junction. |
| Answer» Solution : The TWO processes are :(i) Diffusion (ii) Drift Diffusion : Holes DIFFUSE from p-side to n-side ( p `to `n) and electrons diffuse from n-side to p-side ( n`to`p). Drift: The motion of charge carriers, DUE to the applied ELECTRIC field (`vecE`) which results in drifting of holes along `vecE` and of electrons OPPOSITE to that of electric field (`vecE`). | |
