In a semiconductor 
diode, the doping concentrations on p -side and n -side are 
atoms/ 
and 
atoms 
, respectively. Which one of the following statement is true?
A
Widths of depletion region on either side of the interface are equal
B
The depletion region width is more on p-side compared to that in n -side
C
The depletion region width is more on 
-side compared to that in p -side
-side compared to that in p -side D
No depletion region forms because of unequal doping concentrations on p and n-sides
Text Solution
