Forward Bias<br />
Diode Operating Conditions<br />
External voltage is applied <strong>ac</strong>ross <strong>th</strong>e p-n junction in<br />
<strong>th</strong>e same polarity as <strong>th</strong>e p- and n-type materials.<br />
• The forward voltage causes <strong>th</strong>e<br />
depletion region to narrow.<br />
• The electrons and holes are pushed<br />
toward <strong>th</strong>e p-n junction.<br />
• The electrons and holes have<br />
sufficient energy to cross <strong>th</strong>e p-n<br />
junction.<br />
