  • Abstract
    Closed-form expressions are derived for total thickness of the depletion region and thickness of the depletion region on the n side of the junction. The expressions are applicable to n-p junction devices with either complementary error function or Gaussian impurity distributions. Depletion region thicknesses obtained by evaluation of the closed-form expressions are in excellent agreement with exact numerical calculations.
