junction diode (x=0.5), and an ideal linearly graded junction diode (x=0.5) by using statistical analysis
techniques.
From question 1, we know that our experimental value for x = 0.45. The value is close compared to an ideal
linearly graded junction diode and an abrupt junction diode since there is an average percent error of 18%.
Additionally, our computed value f x is actually closer to the abrupt junction diode which makes more sense
because the IN4004 is an non-linear device and not linearly graded except when it is in reverse bias mode
under a certain condition.
Conclusion:
This lab was helpful to understand theoretical versus practical behavior of diodes.
