Source sentences:
text: When this junction is forward biased (that is, a positive voltage is applied to the p-side), electrons can easily move across the junction to fill the holes, and a current flows through the diode.
text: The Shockley diode equation models the forward-bias operational characteristics of a p–n junction outside the avalanche (reverse-biased conducting) region.
text: When the junction is reverse biased (that is, a negative voltage is applied to the p-side), the depletion region widens and electrons cannot easily move across.
text: But when the junction is forward biased then electrons acquire energy to cross the barrier.
text: When junction 1 & junction 3 are reversed biased and Junction 2 is forward biased the devices starts operating in reversed biased mode.
