P-N junction

Question

The width of depletion layer is a p-n junction decreases due to

Easy

A

decrease in dope concentration.
B

reverse biasing of p-n junction
C

increase in dope concentration
D

both (1) and (2) are correct.

Solution

Due to increase in dope concentration number of free electrons in the n-region and number of holes in the p-region near the interface of p and n regions increases. Due to this recombination of electron and holes take place in a very narrow region near the interface. As a result thickness of depletion layer decreases.
