carrier-free region of immobile, negatively charged acceptor ions. For the n-channel depletion MOS transistor, a sufficient negative VGS will deplete (hence...

high frequency. The depletion capacitance leading to Mott–Schottky plot is situated in the high frequency arc, as the depletion capacitance is a dielectric...

to reach the collector–base depletion region, are swept into the collector by the electric field in the depletion region. The thin shared base and asymmetric...

step in band edges, a depletion region near the junction becomes depleted of both holes and electrons, forming an insulating region with almost no mobile...

interface and the opposite boundary of the depleted area act like two capacitor plates, with the depletion region acting as a dielectric. By applying a voltage...

by the transport of charge carriers through the so-called depletion layer or depletion region that exists at the p–n junction between differing semiconductors...

example, the current near the depletion region of a p–n junction is dominated by the diffusion current. Inside the depletion region, both diffusion current...

n-region) away from the P-N junction. The flow of these electrons results in the creation of additional cations, thus widening the depletion region. The...

reverse current. Under a high reverse-bias voltage, the p-n junction's depletion region widens which leads to a high-strength electric field across the junction...

neutrality: the Yau charge-sharing model. The combined charge in the depletion region of the device and that in the channel of the device is balanced by...

natural sources, but will be lower in depleted uranium in accordance with the degree of depletion. About 95% of the depleted uranium produced until now is stored...

segments are used for enhancement mode and a solid line for depletion mode (see depletion and enhancement modes). Another line is drawn parallel to the...

that is applied. The conventional depletion approximation assumes a uniform ion distribution in the depletion region. It also approximates a sudden drop...

The wide intrinsic region also means the diode will have a low capacitance when reverse-biased. In a PIN diode the depletion region exists almost completely...

non-equilibrium state called deep depletion. Then, when electron–hole pairs are generated in the depletion region, they are separated by the electric...

the junction of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor, there forms a depletion region where current conduction is inhibited by the lack of mobile charge...

diode's operation depends on the heavy doping of its p–n junction. The depletion region formed in the diode is very thin (<1 μm) and the electric field is...

case small spheres are depleted from the interparticle region between large spheres and a depletion force ensues. The depletion force is described as an...
