Abstract :
The minority carrier reflecting properties of the high-low junction have been studied, taking into account the heavy doping effects. It has been observed that the junction leakage velocity attains a minimum value for a particular value of impurity concentration in the heavily doped region, when an empirical relationship giving bandgap narrowing as a function of impurity concentration in silicon is utilized.
