Which of the following parameters of P-N junction diode increases with temperature.(a) Cut in voltage(b) Reverse saturation current.(c) Ideality factor(d) ResistanceThis question was addressed to me in class test.My doubt is from The Temperature Dependence of P-N Characteristics in section Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Right answer is (b) REVERSE saturation CURRENT.

Explanation: Reverse saturation current at temperature T2 is 2^[(T2 –T1)/10] times GREATER than reverse saturation current at temperature T1 where T2 is greater than T1.
