- Problem 2. A MOSFET structure with an n-type substrate (also called 'body') has pn-junction diodes between 1) the source and the body, and 2) the drain and the body. If the substrate was grounded, and a -1 V was placed on the source electrode, and a 2 V was placed on the drain electrode, what would be the regions of operation of both the source/body and drain/body pn-junction diodes?arrow_forwardAs the forward current through a silicon diode increases, the voltage across the diode increases to a 0.7 V maximum. decreases and then increases. decreases. is relatively constant. A silicon diode in a half-wave rectifier has a barrier potential of 0.7 V.
