Dans une seconde partie, nous nous intéresserons au cas du semi-conducteur dopé. Plus exactement, nous nous placerons dans le cas d'une mise en contact de deux semi-conducteurs dopés n et p. Dans ce cas, une zone exempte de tous porteurs de charges apparaît, qu'on appelle zone de déplétion. À travers l'étude du champ électrique interne au semi-conducteur et du potentiel de celui-ci, nous déterminerons la largeur de cette zone. 3, record 2, French, - zone%20d%C3%A9sert%C3%A9e
