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 />
