p-n Junction Diodes Vbi Computation

This document describes a Matlab code that calculates the built-in voltage (Vbi) of silicon p+/n and n+/p step junction diodes at 300K for different doping concentrations (ND). The code defines constants, computes Vbi using the formula Vbi=EG/2+kT*log(ND/ni) for varying ND values, and plots the results on a graph with labels.
