[edit] Depletion region and depletion zone

See also depletion zone. Both of these articles need more work; they should be merged. There's significantly more Google hits for "depletion region" and "depletion layer" than there are hits for "depletion zone". - mako 06:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'll merge and revise them over the next week or two. "Depletion region" is what I've seen most commonly as well.--Christopher Thomas 18:57, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Update - never got to this (went on WikiSabbatical first). --Christopher Thomas 07:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electric field

"An electric field results which is positive on the N side and negative on the P side" is not very scientifically accurate: there is no such thing as a negative or positive electric field: electric field is a vector and the text should be fixed accordingly ("Electric field is oriented from the P- to the N- region" for example). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vmeunier (talk • contribs) on 00:37, 16 September 2005.

Worth mentioning that the depletion region occures because electrons flow from high Ef (in the N-Type) to low Ef (in the P-Type) until Efn = Efp at equlibrium? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.88.252.132 (talk • contribs) on 23:58, 12 January 2006.
