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.
