Semi Conductors Objectives Part 09

161 . The reverse resistance of a PN-junction diode is given by Break down voltage/reverse leakage current.

162 . The depletion layer of PN-junction diode has neither free mobile electrons nor holes.

163 . With the rise in temperature of a PN junction, reverse leakage current will increase.

164 . For a PN-junction we have width of depletion layer and junction barrier voltage.

165 . A zener diode is invariably used with reverse bias.

166 . The temperature coefficient is positive in case extrinsic semiconductor. 167.

167 . A light emitting diode produces light when forward bias.
