The leakage current in a crystal diode is due to _________________?
Correct answer: A. minority carriers
- A. minority carriers
- B. majority carriers
- C. junction capacitance
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Reverse leakage current is produced by thermally generated minority carriers crossing the reverse-biased junction. Majority carriers are blocked by the depletion barrier.
