If the DC bias voltage, Vd, across a forward biased PN junction is equal to 701 mV then what is the current flowing through this diode, Id, in milliamps? Assume that the saturation current for the diode, Is, is equal to 3 fA. (Note that 1 fA = 1 femtoamp = 1 x 10^-15 A.) Also assume that the thermal voltage is equal to Vt = kt/q = 26mV. Since the diode current is very sensitive to small changes in the diode voltage, be sure to use Vd to the nearest millivolt when calculating your answer!
