Shockley diode: I = I_s·(exp(q·V/k_B·T) - 1)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the engineering-physics subtree

The Shockley ideal diode equation — the foundational I-V relation for a p-n junction: I = I_s·(exp(q·V/k_B·T) - 1), where I_s is the reverse saturation current (drift-dominated minority-carrier current), q the electronic charge, V the…
