Draw the energy band diagram at equilibrium for the p+ /n/p semiconductor heterostructure (p+ indicates a p-type semiconductor which is heavily doped, i.e., more heavily doped than p). You should indicate Ec (conduction band), Ev (valence band), Ei (intrinsic Fermi level), and Ef (Fermi level) throughout the device structure. show your work (i.e., you should start from the diagram of individual material pieces). State any reason for your drawing.

EENG 245 Physical electronics HW 1 1) The NaCl crystal is cubic, and can be described as follows. Na atoms sit at the corners and faces of a cube, and Cl atoms sit in between two Na atoms. This means that a Clatom is found half-way along each of the cube edges, and there is a Cl in the center of the cube. (We could also have described the lattice by interchanging Na and Cl in the description above.) Another...
