1124 - PN Junction

Ok. Somebody asked me the other day, what do you need to know about PN Junction?
So, here is my answer:

For zero applied voltage (pn junction in equilibrium), you need to know on how:

1. to calculate the built-in potential barrier.
2. to calculate the width of depletion region in n-type and p-type
3. to calculate the maximum electric field

and all the theories under this topic (eventhough as i have mentioned in class, all questions for pn junction will be calculatian type
:D)
