An Asymptotic Analysis of a Transient p-n Junction Model.

Abstract

In this paper we carry out an asymptotic analysis of the system of differential equations describing the transient behavior of a p-n-junction device (i.e. a diode). We determine the different time-scales present in the equations and investigate which of them actually occur in physical situations. We derive asymptotic expansions of the solution and perform some numerical experiments.
