The depletion...
Question
The depletion grows wider in case of reverse biased on junction diode then why is even a small current leaking through the junction
Open in App
Solution
Actually there is a term called reverse leakage current.
The leakage current of diode is the current that the diode will leak when a reverse voltage is applied to it
