Case Study Based Questions
29. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
A semiconductor diodes basically a pn junction with metallic contacts provided
at the ends for the application of an external voltage. Itis a two terminal device.
When an external voltage is applied across a semiconductor diode such that
p-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and n-side to the
negative terminal, itis said to be forward biased. When an external voltage is
applied across the diode such that n-side is positive and p-side is negative,
said to be reverse biased. An ideal diode is one whose resistance in forward
biasing is zero and the resistance is infinite in reverse biasing, When the diode
is forward biased, it is found that beyond forward voltage called knee voltage,
the conductivity is very high. When the biasing voltage is more than the knee
voltage the potential barrier is overcome and the current inereases rapidly with
increase in forward voltage. When the diode is reverse biased, the reverse bias
voltage produces a very small current about a few microamperes which almost remains constant with bias. This small current is reverse saturation current.
