The correct answer is

a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

To solve this problem, we need to match the types of p-n junctions listed in List – I with their corresponding configurations in List – II.

  1. Abrupt p-n junction: An abrupt p-n junction has a sudden change in doping concentration at the junction. The configuration that matches this is p+, n, n+, as it represents a sharp transition between regions of different doping levels. Therefore, the correct match is a-ii.
  2. Linearly graded p-n junction: A linearly graded junction has a gradual change in doping concentration across the junction, often represented by the profile p+, p, n, n+. This corresponds to configuration iv. Therefore, the correct match is b-iv.
  3. Tunnel diode: A tunnel diode is characterized by a highly doped p-n junction, typically denoted by p+, n+. This high doping leads to quantum mechanical tunneling. Hence, the configuration i matches this. So, the correct match is c-i.
  4. p-i-n diode: A p-i-n diode includes an intrinsic (or undoped) layer between the p and n regions. This is denoted by p, π(ν), n. The corresponding configuration is iii. Therefore, the correct match is d-iii.

Based on the above reasoning, the correct code matching List – I to List – II is: a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii.
