Question
A silicon (PN) junction at a temperature of 20�C has a reverse saturation current of 10 pico Ampere. The reverse saturation current at 40�C for the same bias is approximately.
Options
A. 30 pA
B. 40 pA
C. 50 pA
D. 60 pA

Correct Answer

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.
