Abstract :
An assumption of charge neutrality is frequently used to calculate the electric field arising from an impurity atom density gradient in semiconductor material of homogeneous conductivity type. It is shown that this charge neutral assumption represents a zeroth-order approximation, using Picard´s algorithm to solve the associated differential equations.
