The leakage current across a pn junction is due to________________?
Correct answer: A. Minority carriers
- A. Minority carriers
- B. Majority carriers
- C. Junction capacitance
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Under reverse bias, minority carriers are swept across the depletion region and produce the small leakage or reverse saturation current. Majority carriers are blocked by the junction barrier.
