A uniformly doped silicon p-n junction has n-type doping of 6.0e+17 cm-3 and p-type doping of 1.0e+18 cm-3.

The width of the n-type quasi-neutral region is 5 μm, and the width of the p-type quasi-neutral region is 6 μm.

The diode area is 100 μm x 100 μm.

The applied voltage is 0.6 V.

Calculate the diode current at room temperature:

Note: For silicon,
