What is reverse saturation current in ideal diode?

When a pn junction is reversed bias practically no current flows through it ,but a very small current flows through due to minority charge carriers ,which is known as reverse saturation current .In p type due to electrons and in n type due to holes .


Reverse saturation current of Ge diode?

Reverse saturation current of germanium diodeThe current that exists under reverse bias conditions is called the reverse saturation current. Reverse saturation current of the germanium diode is typically 1 micro ampere or 10-6 a.At a fixed temperature, the reverse saturation current of a diode increases with increase in applied reverse bias. In reverse bias region the reverse saturation current also varies with the temperature.


What is diode reverse current?

the current which has negative value n passes through the diode is called as diode reverse current

What is maximum reverse current?

this is the best current.


What is Reverse Saturation Current of a diode?

When a diode is operated as reverse bias the current flow is almost completely blocked. A small amount of current is still able to travel in reverse through the diode and this is referred to as the reverse current saturation.


How the diode acts as a switch?

A diode is made up of a P-Type and an N-Type semiconductor. P-Type has "missing" electrons (in a sense); N-Type has extra electrons (in a sense). This means that if you have current going through the two semiconductors from N-type into P-type, it should be easier than normal to apply the current because there is a potential difference between the N-type and P-type because of their relative "positivity" and "negativity". ...but if you reverse the voltage, then you are going against this potential difference and hence the voltage is impeded, resulting in a 0 current (in theory). This will only happen until the reverse voltage exceeds a threshold ampage, at which point the current will shoot up (in reverse).


What is maximum dc reverse current?

What are the sources of reverse current in a diode?

doping concentration,temperature are the major source of reverse current


Define reverse saturation current?

In diode some current flows for the presence of the minority charge carriers. This current is known as reverse saturated current. This is generally measured by picoampere. This current is independent of reverse voltage. It only depends on the thermal excitation of the minority carriers

Does diode flow current in reverse bias?

Diodes will have a small leakage current in reverse bias. In most cases, this current can be considered insignificant and ignored.
