Homework Statement
Calculate the width of the space charge region in a pn junction when a reverse biased voltage is applied. Consider a silicon pn junction at T=300K with doping concentrations of Na=10^16 cm^-3 and Nd=10^15 cm-3. Assume that Ni=1.5*10^10 cm-3 and VR=5V
Homework Equations
W=((2Ef(Vbi+Vr)/e)((Na+Nd)/((Na*Nd))))^1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
I correctly calculated the in built potential to be 0.635V however, I do not know how to calculate the fermi energy
