Consider a step pn junction made of silicon. Carrier lifetimes
are given as \tau_n = 10^{-7} sτn=10−7s and \tau_p = 10^{-7}
sτp=10−7s. Assume long diode, i.e. long quasi-neutral regions.
What must be the doping density ratio, N_A/N_DNA/ND, in order to
have 95% of the total current in the depletion region carried by
electrons?
