[edit] Depletion zones
The explanation of PN junction operation is really the explanation of Depletion zones. --Wjbeaty 07:14, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Non-rectifying Junctions
Schottky diodes do not have P-N junctions. They have metal-semiconductor junctions (See Schottky_barrier) Tonsofpcs 18:52, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merger proposal
The proposed merger of Reverse-biased into p-n junction#Reverse-bias sounds like a good idea. It really is a feature/effect of the junction, not much to say on its own, and need to discuss the junction to understand it anyway. DMacks 21:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
In the discussion of the functioning of a P-N junction as a rectifier, clearly consideration of both forward-bias and reverse-bias is essential. (Arnold Whapham, Nov 19, 2007) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.170.15 (talk) 02:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
If forward biased hasnt got its own article, i see no reason why reverse biased should, so i support either merging the article, or giving forward biased its own article also for consistency 193.60.83.241 (talk) 16:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Error and question
Figure B is mislabeled. Should be "charge density", ρ, instead of "charge", Q. Greengadgetz (talk) 15:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Where should I put information on how to calculate carrier concentrations and such? Greengadgetz (talk) 15:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mathematical Analysis
Is there a reason that no mathematical analysis of the operation of a PN junction has been included in this article? 69.134.60.173 (talk) 03:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
