1.
Discuss
two possible scenarios by which a pn diode generates current in the reverse biased condition.
2.
How does temperature affect the
saturation current $I_s(t)$ in the two possible scenarios?
3.
Sketch a plot of saturation current as a function of temperature T.
4.
Explain the dominant contribution to current generation in the forward biased condition.
