Schottky Diode Part 2 - Depletion Region and Capacitance

  / edmundsj  
If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.

In this video I find an expression for the depletion region width and the capacitance of a schottky diode. Diode capacitance is extremely useful because it can be measured and allows us to deduce the doping of a semiconductor as well as the built-in potential of the semiconductor/metal contact.

This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley.

Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
