The correct answer is the option a, b and d

Explanation:-

The concentration of charge carriers in the N-region and P-region is different. Therefore, due to diffusion, the neutrality of both p-type and n-type semiconductors is disturbed. Hence, a layer of negatively charged ions appears at the p junction while positive ions at a junction in N-crystal.

The thickness of the layer (depletion) is 1 micron = 10-6 m.

Width of depletion layer ∞  1/Dopping

The depletion layer is directly proportional to the temperature.
