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