What is the build-in potential?



What is the build-in potential?..

Answer / rajesh

The built-in potential in a semiconductor equals the potential across the depletion region in thermal equilibrium. ... It also equals the sum of the bulk potentials of each region, since the bulk potential quantifies the distance between the fermi energy and the intrinsic energy.
