Question
Can you help me understand how the answer is -12000?
The equation I am using is:
Emax = Vbi / 2*W
We are given the width of the SCR is 1E-6 m
Also I know you can find the Vo = Vbi by taking the difference of: EC(n-side) - Ec(p-side)
so Vo = [ Ec(n) - Ec(p) ] = 6*.2ev = -1.2
but I am not getting -12000? what am I doing wrong here?
This is a P-N junction so the P is on the left side, N is on the right., SCR is the middle where there is a slope.Also its hard to see but the Dotted line is E-Fermi the middle line is Eintrinsic.
Thanks
Explanation / Answer
Recheck your calculations again BUT this time change convert n such that it is in micrometers cubed. Your SCR is in micrometers while your n is centimeters cubed and probably why there is a varying magnitude in your answer.
