5. Ionization within a P-N junction causes a layer on each side of the barrier called the:
(a) Depletion region
(b) Barrier Voltage
(c) Junction
(d) Forward voltage

Asked by akosuanyantaboateng

Answer (2)

The area formed at a P-N junction where charge carriers recombine is known as the depletion region . This region is essential for the behavior of semiconductor devices, creating a voltage barrier. Understanding this concept is fundamental in the study of electronics and semiconductor physics. ;

The layer on each side of a P-N junction caused by ionization is called the depletion region . This region is essential for controlling the flow of current in semiconductor devices. It is formed where charge carriers recombine, leading to an absence of charge carriers.
