    The document discusses the PN junction diode. When a P-type and N-type semiconductor materials are joined together, majority carriers from each region diffuse across the junction, leaving an area devoid of carriers called the depletion region. Applying a forward bias reduces the width of the depletion region, allowing current to flow through the diode. Applying a reverse bias increases the width of the depletion region, preventing current flow.

    BIASING THE DIODE:

    FORWARD BIAS:
    Negative terminal of biasing source is connected to N region of the diode,
    and Positive terminal of biasing source is connected to P region of the diode.
    Depletion region becomes narrower.
    Forward Bias allows current through the PN junction.

    REVERSE BIAS:

    Reverse Bias prevents current through the PN junction.

    Positive terminal of biasing source is connected to N region of the


    diode, and Negative terminal of biasing source is connected to P
    region of the diode.

    Depletion region becomes wider.
