A silicon (PN) junction at a temperature of 20Â°C has a reverse saturation current of 10 pico Ampere. The reverse saturation current at 40Â°C for the same bias is approximately.

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electronic Devices and Circuits - Quiz(MCQ)

30 pA

40 pA

50 pA

60 pA

Correct Answer : Option (B) : 40 pA

Explanation :

By increasing of temperature by 10°C, I_o become double so by increasing temperature 20°C, I_o become 4 time than initial value... and it is 40 PA.
