A hole diffuses from the p-side to the n-side in a p-n junction.This means that

A

a bond is broken on the n-side and the electron freed from the bond jumps to the conduction band

B

a conduction electron on the p-side jumps to a broken bond to complete it

C

a bond is broken on the p-side and the electron freed from the bond jumps to a broken bond on the p-side to complete it.

D

a bond is broken on the p-side and the electron freed from the bond jumps to a broken bond on the n-side to complete it.

When a p-type impurity is doped in a semiconductor, a large number of holes are created. This does not make the semiconductor charged. But when holes diffuse from the p-side to the n-side in a p-n junction,the n-side gets positvely charged.Explain.

The potential barrier exists across the junction is 0.2volt.What minimm kinetic energy a hole should have to diffuse from the p-side to the n-side if (a)the junction is unbiased,(b)the junction is forward-biased at 0.1volt and ©the junction is reverse-biased at 0.1volt?
