// Find reverse saturation current // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 2-12 in page 94 clear; clc; close; // Given data A=5*10^-2; // Cross sectional area in m^2 b=2.6; // Constant of calculation Lsigma=10^-4; // Constant of calculation sigmai=4.32*10^-6; // Intrinsic conductivity in ohm/cm Vt=0.026; // Constant in eV // Calculation I_0=A*Vt*(b/(1+b)^2)*sigmai^2*(2*10^4); printf("The reverse saturation current = %0.2e A",I_0); // Result // The reverse saturation current = 97.25 pA
