a) i) Vd = 358 mV , Vd = 417.5 mV, Vd = 477.2 mV

ii) Vd = -17.9 mV

b) Vd = 477.2 mV, Vd = 536.8 mV, Vd = 596.5 mV

Vd = 161 mV

Explanation:

We will use the ideal diode equation:

$I_{D} = I_{s} (e^{\frac{qv_{d} }{nkT} }-1)$

Where Id = Diode current

Is = Reverse Saturation Current

Vd = Diode Voltage

q = charge of electron

n = ideality factor

k = Boltzmann constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

(a) We are given:

Is = 10⁻¹¹ A

i) Id = 10 μA

Ideally, kT/q = 25.9mV and n=1. So,

q/nkT = 38.6

Id = Is e^(38.6Vd) -1

Id/Is + 1 = e^(38.6Vd)

ln(Id/Is + 1) = 38.6Vd

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(10*10⁻⁶)/10⁻¹¹ + 1] / 38.6

= 13.815/38.6

Vd = 0.3579

Vd = 358 mV

Id = 100 µA

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(100*10⁻⁶)/10⁻¹¹ + 1] / 38.6

= 16.118/38.6

Vd = 0.4175

Vd = 417.5 mV

Id = 1 mA

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(1*10⁻³)/10⁻¹¹ + 1] / 38.6

= 18.420/38.6

Vd = 0.4772

Vd = 477.2 mV

ii) Id = -5 x 10⁻¹² A

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(-5 x 10⁻¹²)/10⁻¹¹ + 1] / 38.6

= -0.693/38.6

Vd = -0.0179 V

Vd = -17.9 mV

(b) Is = 10⁻¹³ A

i) Id = 10 µA

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(10 x 10⁻⁶)/10⁻¹³ + 1] / 38.6

= 18.42/38.6

Vd = 0.4772 V

Vd = 477.2 mV

Id = 100 µA

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(100 x 10⁻⁶)/10⁻¹³ + 1] / 38.6

= 20.723/38.6

= 0.5368 V

Vd = 536.8 mV

Id = 1 mA

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(1 x 10⁻³)/10⁻¹³ + 1] / 38.6

= 23.025/38.6

= 0.5965

Vd = 596.5 mV

ii) Id = -5 x 10⁻¹² A

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(-5 x 10⁻¹²)/10⁻¹³ + 1] / 38.6

= ln (-49) / 38.6

Not possible.

Is = -10⁻¹⁴

Id = -5 x 10⁻¹² A

Vd = ln(Id/Is + 1)/38.6

= ln [(-5 x 10⁻¹²)/-10⁻¹⁴ + 1] / 38.6

= 6.216/38.6

Vd = 0.161 V

Vd = 161 mV
