The formula to calculate Transition Capacitance (CT) is:
\[ CT = \frac{[\text{Permittivity-vacuum}] \cdot Ajp}{Wd} \]
The transition capacitance represents the change in charge stored in the depletion region with respect to a change in junction voltage. Junction Plate Area is defined as the total surface area of the plates of p and n junctions. Width of depletion region acts as a barrier that opposes the flow of electrons from the n-side to the p-side of the semiconductor diode.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ CT = \frac{8.85E-12 \cdot 0.019}{0.022} \approx 7.64318181818182E-12 \]
The Transition Capacitance is approximately 7.64318181818182E-12 Farad.
