There is no movement of charge through a pn-junction at equilibrium.
* The pn-junction form a diode which allows current in only one direction and prevent the current in the other direction as determined by the bias.

*Forward Bias: dc voltage positive terminal connected to the p region and negative to the n region. It is the condition that permits current through the pn-junction of a diode.

*Reverse Bias: dc voltage negative terminal connected to the p region and positive to the n region. Depletion region widens until its potential difference equals the bias voltage, majority-carrier current ceases.

10. Diodes – Basic Diode Concepts
*Reverse Bias: majority-carrier current ceases.* However, there is still a very
small current produced by minority carriers.

* Reverse Breakdown: As reverse voltage reach certain value, avalanche occurs and generates large current.
