Abstract

Since the development of semiconductors, various related research has been conducted. During research, silicon diodes have been commonly used because of their simplicity and low cost in the manufacturing process. This research deals with p-n junction threshold voltages from silicon diodes due to transport current at a cryogenic temperature. At a cryogenic temperature(77K) we could get minimum current which junction threshold voltage becomes constant. This is experimented on GPIB communication and it consist of programmable current source, multimeter which gauge the threshold voltage in a very low temperature caused by transport current from 5nA to 1mA and $LN_2$(77K) for coolant. This experiment is programmed all process using Measurement studio(Lab window) tool.
