text: The resistance of the diode in the reverse direction (when the diode is ‘off’) must be high, and the insulation offered by the depletion layer between the P and N layers extremely good to avoid the possibility of reverse breakdown, where the insulation of the depletion layer fails and the diode is permanently damaged by the high reverse voltage across the junction.
