Thomas-Fermi model is applied to study the heterostructure GaAs/(Al,Ga
)As p-N junction. We consider that the electron and hole densities are
embeded in the heterojellium of constant charge background and solve
the Poission equations of electron and hole separately on the p-side a
nd on the N-side. We derive and calculate some semiconductor's propert
ies, such as space charge layer width, depletion layer width, electron
and hole density distributions, potentials. We find that our results
confirm all the concepts we have currently, especially from the electr
omagnetism point of view. There are also a ''quantum well'' to be used
for (quantum) dynamical calculations. At the interface, we have also
find the spike. But the magnitudes of the layer widths are different f
rom those of the current concepts.
