Barrier potential of a p-n junction diode does not depend on
- diode design
- temperature
- forward bias
- doping density
Answer
(1) diode design
Solution
As per NCERT, the barrier potential V0 of a p–n junction is set by the dopant concentrations on the two sides and depends on temperature; an applied bias changes the effective barrier (forward bias lowers it to V0 - V).
⇒ Barrier potential depends on doping density, temperature and forward bias.
It does not depend on the design (shape and size) of the diode.
