I-V-characteristics of pn-junctions should be basic knowledge. However, it is not a particularly easy subject. | |

The "ideal junction", without consideration of what happens in the space charge region, is not too difficult. Including diffusion and generation currents from the SCR, however, makes things quite messy. A proper treatment besides involving some knowledge of "Shockley-Read-Hall recombination theory" still must cut a lot of corners by using all kinds of approximations. | |
