 Diode Characteristics

Objective
To understand Circuit fundamentals and plot V-I characteristics of
silicon Diode.

Tools and equipments

• DC power supply
• DMM(Digital multi meter)
• Silicon Diode
• Resistors 1kΩ
• Resistor 1 MΩ
• Jumpers

6
Procedures
Part 1. Forward-bias Diode Characteristics
In this part of the experiment, we will obtain sufficient data to plot the
forward bias characteristics of the silicon diode.
a) Construct the network of fig 1.3 with the supply (E) set at 0 V.
record the measured value of the resistor.

b) Increase the supply voltage E until 𝑉𝑅 (not E) reads 0.1 V. Then

measure𝑉𝐷 and insert its voltage in Table1.3.
c) Calculate the value of the corresponding current 𝐼𝐷 using the
equation shown in Table 1.3

Part 2. Reverse Bias

a) In fig.1.5 a reverse-bias condition has been estabiished. Since the
reverse saturation will be relatively small. a large resistance of 1 MΩ is
required if the voltage across R is to be of measureable amplitude.
Construct the circuit of fig.1.5 and record the measured value of R on the
diagram.

8
b) Measure the voltage 𝑽𝑹. Calculate the reverse saturation current
from 𝑰𝒔 = 𝑽𝑹 / (𝑹𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒔 // 𝑹𝒎 ). The internal resistance 𝑹𝒎 of the DMM
is included because of the large mangnitude of the resistance R. your
instructer will provide the internals resistance of DMM for your
calculations. If unavailable, use a typical value of 10 MΩ.
