Forward Bias I-V Characteristics of Si DiodeUsing PSpice/MultiSim simulator, design diode circuits and extract parameters: Calculate I-V characteristics for a Si diode under forward bias (0-3V, step 0.005V) with saturation current Is=2 10-6A, ideal factor n=1.75 and series resistance  Rs=0.1 Ohm. For a diode evaluation model 1N1204C* (or similar), design a circuit to measure current under forward bias 0-3 V with step 0.01 V. Plot data as log I versus V; using your graph, find the diode...
