Saturation Current in PN Junction Diode Calculation
A p-n junction is a interface between p-type and n-type semiconductor material. In this calculator, you can calculate the saturation current (Io) flow through the p-n junction diode based on Band theory.

Formula:
Io = e ni2 * A((De / Le * Na) + (Dh / Lh * Nd))
Where,
Io = Saturation Current
e = Electronic Charge
ni = Intrinsic Carrier Concentration
A = Area of Junction
De = Electron Diffusion Coefficients
Le = Electron Diffusion Lengths
Na = Acceptor Concentrations
Dh = Hole Diffusion Coefficients
Lh = Hole Diffusion Lengths
Nd = Donor Concentrations
