Switching speed of P+ junction depends on.(a) Mobility of minority carriers in P junction(b) Life time of minority carriers in P junction(c) Mobility of majority carriers in N junction(d) Life time of minority carriers in N junctionThis question was posed to me in an interview for internship.This key question is from PN Diode Switching Times in portion Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Correct option is (d) Life time of MINORITY CARRIERS in N junction

For explanation: Switching leads to move HOLES in P region to N region as minority carriers. REMOVAL of this accumulation DETERMINES switching speed. P+ regards to a diode in which the p type is doped excessively.
