RL
1. When the anode is more positive than the cathode of a diode, the condition is called reverse bias. 2. A semiconductor material has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance which means that as temperature increases, the resistance increases. 3. A p-type semiconductor has more valence-band holes than valence band electrons. 4. A forward bias causes a large depletion region in a p-n junction offers a large resistance and therefore only permits a small current. 5. Leakage or reverse current is the extremely small current passes through the p-n junction due to minority carriers. 6. Covalent bond is electrons shared by two neighboring atoms, which form a recombined electron-hole pair. 7. Conduction band is an energy band in which electrons can move freely within a material. 8. When an electron goes from the valence band to the conduction band, it generates an electron-hole pair. 9. In n-type semiconductor, the electrons are called minority carriers and the Fermi level lies above the middle of the band gap. 10. At a p-n junction theres an attractive force between the electrons of the n-type material and the holes of the p-type material.
