Using the values of reverse saturation current and the ideality factor obtained in Task 1, plot a simulated I-V curve (Graph 3) of the diode employing the diode current-voltage equation. Note: Plot both the experimental and the simulated I-V curves in Graph 3 for easy comparison. b) (4 pts) Do you notice any differences between the experimentally measured I-V characteristic and this simulated I-V characteristic in Graph 3? If yes, then explain the possible reasons for the differences VD (V) ID (mA) VD (V) Ln 0.0010 0.0020 0.0030 0.0040 0.0050 0.0060 2.12309E-10 4.30996E-10 6.56254E-10 8.88283E-10 1.12729E-09 1.37347E-09 1.62706E-09 1.88827E-09 2.15734E-09 2.43450E-09 0.0010 0.0020 0.0030 0.0040 0.0050 0.0060 -22.272981 -21.564923 -21.144473 -20.841731 -20.603454 -20.405924 -20.236491 -20.087603 -19.954389 -19.833524 0.0070 0.0080 0.0090 0.0100 0.0070 0.0080 0.0090 0.0100 Is= 2.129E-10 Ln(Is)= -22.27 n= 1.28
