The reverse saturation current in a PN Junction diode is only due to 

• majority carriers
• minority carriers
• acceptor ions
• donor ions

Doping of Semiconductors

• materials which can conduct electricity better than insulator, but not as well as conductors.

• The process of adding of a certain amount of specific impurities atoms in the pure semiconductor.

• when 4 electrons in outermost orbit.

which statement is correct? (the dark circles represent the electrons)

• p-type of the diode is connected to the negative terminal.

• Electron moves across the p-n junction, makes the diode forward biased

• current will not flow in the circuit

• reverse biased circuit
