1 (a) Draw a band diagram of an abrupt p-n junction indicating the dopant con-

centrations, space charge density, carrier density and the built-in electric field.
Explain what is meant by the barrier potential. {6}

(b) Sketch the I-V characteristics of a MOSFET and describe briefly its operation. {4}

(c) Draw a sketch of a MESFET layout and describe how it works, pointing out
the differences between this and the corresponding MOS technology. {6}
