Read the Diffusion current class notes.


In some region of a semiconductor, the electron concentration varies sinusoidally with distance, as shown below,
with n1 = 9.0e+12 cm-3 and L = 0.3 μm.

Calculate the electron diffusion current density at the point x = 0.18 μm.

The electron diffusion coefficient is Dn = 35 cm2/V·s.

Note: Be careful with radians versus degrees for the function. In this case, you will likely be using radians.
