For a silicon diode with long P and N regions, the acceptor and donor impurity concentrations are 1 × 1017 cm−3 and 1 × 1015 cm−3, respectively. The lifetimes of electrons in the P region and holes in the N region are both 100 μs. The electron and hole diffusion coefficients are 49 cm2/s and 36 cm2/s, respectively. Assume kT/q = 26 mV, the intrinsic carrier concentration is 1 × 1010 cm−3, and q = 1.6 × 10−19 C. When a forward voltage of 208 mV is applied across the diode, the hole current density (in nA/cm2) injected from P region to N region is

Correct : 28 to 30
