hello,
I saw this question today in a book.
'Devices with pn junctions are used to build computers .The speed of computers depends on how fast a diode can be turned off and on.Based on what you have learned about reverse bias,what can we do to speed up a computer?'
All i know is in a reverse biased pn junction a small reverse current(which is the sum of reverse saturation current and surface leakage current) flows.
Moreover the revese saturation current increases only with Temperature.
But what can be done to speed up the computer?
Thank you
