Question 1 [14 Total Marks (a) [5 marks] Calculate the resistivity of intrinsic silicon at 300K (b) Consider a silicon p-n junction diode initially forward biased at 0.60 V at 300K. If the diode is maintained at constant current of Io, but the voltage changes by -17.3mV, then (i) [2 Mark] What parameter has changed. (ii) [5 Marks] What is the change in the parameter? (iii) [2 marks] If the current is now held constant at 2 x Io, what is the new voltage? Note: Assume that the reverse saturation current remains constant.
