Homework #3 Solution

Problem #1 (25 points) Semiconductor p-n junctions

Solution:

a) = /
Since ) / = 0; - / = 0, we have / / = /.
On n side (0 2 )
/ 2
=

2 = 0
So we have:
2
= 2

Similarly, on P side
2
= ( + 2 )

b) Using = / and integrate in P region
 /
2 2 ;
2 = + 2 = + 2
2
8/9
2 = 0
2 ;
= + 2
2
Similarly, on n side, we have:
/
B
0 = 2 B
8/9
/
B 2 2; 2 2 ;
=0 2 B =
8/9 2

c)
2;
CD = 2 2 = 2 =

Since we have

2 = 160 ; = 0.65; = 11.92
I 2
So we have
CD = 0.64

d)
PQ
When 2 < < 0, = ; ,
P/
T T
= I + , with B.C. 2 = 0. So = 2I .
I I
T T
Thus = I 2I .
I I
W / T T T
We have 2 = ( I 2I ) = ( Y + 42I + 32Y ),
X 8/9 I I W;

T
let 2 = 0, So = ( Y + 42I + 32Y )
W;X
T T
Similarly, When 0 < < 2 , we have = I 2I ,
I I
/ T
W T T W
0 = 2 ( I 2I ) = ( Y + 2I ).
X I I IX Y
T
According to the result when 2 < < 0, 0 = 2Y ,
YX

T W T T
We have = Y + 2I + 2Y = ( Y + 42I + 32Y )
IX Y YX W;X
Problem #2 (20 points) Infinite sheet current

Solution:
a)

=
= J

H =

According to the right hand rule, is in , is in when higher than xy plane, in

when lower than the xy plane.
So we have

2 = 2
2
=
2
So H field doesnt depend on distance to plane:
2 , > 0
=
2 , < 0
b)

For ,
2 = W 2
= W
2 , >
=
2 , <
 For < ,
2 = W 2||
= W ||
2 , 0 <
=
2 , < < 0
Or

= W , < <

c)

When current exists in both x and y directions, the symmetry still holds. But the direction
of current is rotated by = 45i , the magnitude of the current is changed to 2 of the
original. As a result, the magnetic field becomes:
W W , <
= W + W ,
1 + 1 , >
Problem #3 (20 points)

Solution:
a)
For 0 < <
2 = 2 ;
2
=
2
2
= ( )
2
For < <
2 = 2 ;
2 ;
= ( )
2
For < <
2 = 2 ; + ino ( ; ; )
2no ( ; ; ) 2 ;
=
2

For > 0
2 = 2 ; + ino ( ; ; )
2 ; + ino ( ; ; )
=
2

b)
2 ; = ino ; ;
;
ino = 2 ;
;
c)
Dq = ino = 2 ;

Problem #4 (25 points)

Solution:
a)
1 1 ;
; = ;
+ + 1/( ;
sin ;
)
; ; ;
So we have
 1 2 1 sin;
; = + ( ;
) + ;
; ; ;
2 2 2 2
= + =0
Y Y
So the Laplacian equation is satisfied.

b)

= , , = , = + + 0 = 0
;
For all

+ =
;
So D=0

+ = 0
;
So we have
= I
I I
, , = + = | =
; ; }~
Since = ,
, = = 2
So we have
= 2 , = 2 I

2 I I
= 2 = 2
; ;

c)
2 I
; = ; = = 2 + 1 + |}2 = 32 +
3

; 0 =


32 =

So we have
= 32

d)

=
4 ;

In part (b), we have

I
P = 2
;

The dipole part

 2 I
P =
;
Let P =

2 I
;
=
4 ;
= 2 I 4

= = ( )
So we have

= 4 I 2
