The built-in potential of the semiconductor varies, depending on the concentration of doping atoms. In this example, both p and n junctions are doped at a 1e15 cm −3 (160 μC/cm 3) doping level, leading to built-in potential of ~0.59 volts. Reducing depletion width can be inferred from the shrinking movement of carriers across the p–n ...
Consequently, the capacitance of the junction increases, and the reciprocal square capacitance decreases forming a linear Mott–Schottky plot in (c). The intercept with the x-axis shows the flatband situation, that reveals the built-in potential, depending on the reference of voltage in the electrolyte side.
A homojunction PN junction.The band at the interface is continuous. In forward bias mode, the depletion width decreases. Both p and n junctions are doped at a 1e15/cm3 doping level, leading to built-in potential of ~0.59 V. Observe the different Quasi Fermi levels for conduction band and valence band in n and p regions (red curves).
In this model the conduction is supposed to be carried by a free electron system moving in a self-consistent periodic potential. On the contrary, Frenkel derived his formula describing the dielectric (or the semiconductor) as simply composed by neutral atoms acting as positively charged trap states (when empty, i.e. when the atoms are ionized).
The potential barrier is too high for the electrons to pass thus no current flows. When a voltage is applied on the gate the potential gap shrinks due to the applied bias band bending that occurs. As a result current will flow. Or in other words, the transistor is in its 'on' state. [9] The MOSFET is not the only type of transistor available today.
Integrating the electric field across the depletion region determines what is called the built-in voltage (also called the junction voltage or barrier voltage or contact potential). Physically speaking, charge transfer in semiconductor devices is from (1) the charge carrier drift by the electric field and (2) the charge carrier diffusion due to ...

These older techniques were used to extract the built-in potential by assuming a square-root dependence for the capacitance C on bi - qV, with bi the built-in potential, q the electron charge, and V the applied voltage. If band extrema away from the interface, as well as the distance between the Fermi level, are known parameters, known a priori ...
