3.22 In a forward-biased pn junction show that the ratio of the current component due to hole injection across the junction to the component due to electron injection is given by
Evaluate this ratio for the case NA = 1018/cm3, ND = 1016/cm3, Lp = 5 µm, Ln = 10 µm, Dp = 10 cm2/s, and Dn = 20 cm2/s, and hence find Ip and In for the case in which the pn junction is conducting a forward current I = 100 µA.
