Q. The leakage current across a pn junction is due to

A
Minority carriers
B
Majority carriers
C
Junction capacitance
D
None of the above
Solution:
  • P-N Junction:
    A P-N Junction is an interface or boundary between two different kinds of semiconductor material.
  • The less abundant charge carriers are called minority carriers; in n-type semiconductors they are holes, while in p-type semiconductors they are electrons.
  • In an intrinsic semiconductor, which does not contain any impurity, the concentrations of both types of carriers are ideally equal.
