In a $p-n$ junction diode, an electric field of magnitude $2 \times 10^5 \ V/m$ exists in the depletion region. $A$ particle with charge $-3e$ can diffuse from $n$-side to $p$-side, if it has a minimum kinetic energy of $0.6 \ eV$. The width of the depletion region of the $p-n$ junction is: (in $nm$)

  • A
    $300$
  • B
    $600$
  • C
    $1000$
  • D
    $1200$
