// Find breakdown voltage // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 2-33 in page 111 clear; clc; close; // Given data E=1.5*10^5; // Electric field in V/cm epsln=11.9*8.854*10^-16; // Constant e=1.6*10^-19; // Charge on an electron in eV N_d=2*10^15; // Doping concentration /cm^3 // Calculation W=(E*epsln)/(e*N_d); V_b=(W*E)/2; printf("Width of depletion region = %0.3e m\n",W); printf("Therefore,breakdown voltage Vbr = %0.4f V",V_b); // Result // Breakdown voltage = 0.3704 V
