SHOW YOUR WORK. (Make your methods clear to the grader!) Specially, While using chart, make sure that you indicate how you have got your numbers. For example, if reading off mobility, clearly write down what doping density that corresponds to. 2. Clearly mark (underline or box) your answers. 3. Specify the units on answers whenever appropriate.

Half of the current will have to be supplied by holes and half by electrons. Assume the mobility of electrons to be 500 cmZ/V-sec and that of holes to be 250 cmZ/V-sec. Also assume that the diffusion length for electrons and holes are the same and equal to 10 pm.

Normally it is assumed that the base current remains independent of m. However, if the depletion region spreads a long distance into the base, it can reduce the base current by recombination of injected holes with the negative immobile charges in the base region (for a NPN transistor}. This is shown in the following figure. Considering this decrease of £8 with VCE, derive and draw complete (including conventional early effect and the new phenomenon) the small-signal model of a NPN transistor. [6 pt] a i , ,, .
