Diffusion ofcarriers• In a gradient of electrons or holes,
p and n are not zero• Diffusion current,`J =`Jp +`Jn (note
Dp and Dn are diffusion coefficients)

Diffusion ofcarriers (cont.)• Note (p)x has the magnitude of
dp/dx and points in the direction of increasing p (uphill)
• The diffusion current points in the direction of decreasing p or n (downhill) and hence the - sign in the definition of`Jp and the + sign in the definition of`Jn

Doping gradient induced E-field• If N = Nd-Na = N(x), then so is Ef-Efi
• Define f = (Ef-Efi)/q = (kT/q)ln(no/ni)
• For equilibrium, Efi = constant, but• for dN/dx not equal to zero, • Ex = -df/dx =- [d(Ef-Efi)/dx](kT/q)
= -(kT/q) d[ln(no/ni)]/dx= -(kT/q) (1/no)
[dno/dx] = -(kT/q) (1/N)[dN/dx], N > 0

Induced E-field(continued)• Let Vt = kT/q, then since
• nopo = ni2 gives no/ni = ni/po
• Ex = - Vt d[ln(no/ni)]/dx= - Vt d[ln(ni/po)]/dx
= - Vt d[ln(ni/|N|)]/dx, N = -Na < 0
• Ex = - Vt (-1/po)dpo/dx = Vt(1/po)dpo/dx
= Vt(1/Na)dNa/dx

The Einsteinrelationship• For Ex = - Vt (1/no)dno/dx, and
• Jn,x = nqmnEx + qDn(dn/dx) = 0• This requires that
nqmn[Vt (1/n)dn/dx] = qDn(dn/dx)
