Read the Diffusion current class notes.


In some region of a semiconductor, the hole concentration varies linearly with distance, as shown below,
with p1 = 5.0e+13 cm-3 and W = 1 μm.

Calculate the hole diffusion current density at any point 0 < x < W.

The hole diffusion coefficient is Dp = 10 cm2/V·s.
