Shockley diode equation
text:
The Shockley diode equation, or the diode law, named after transistor co-inventor William Shockley of Bell Labs, models the exponential current–voltage (I–V) relationship of semiconductor diodes in moderate constant current forward bias or reverse bias:
- I D = I S, where
- I D is the diode current,
- I S is the reverse-bias saturation current,
- V D is the voltage across the diode,
- V T is the thermal voltage, and
- n is the ideality factor, also known as the quality factor, emissi
