text: Reverse current (I R )
text: Reverse Biased Current (Ir): While it is true that the diode will not allow current to flow though it in reverse biased mode the value of current will not be ideally zero.
text: However, one drawback is larger leakage current (I R ), making countermeasures necessary to prevent thermal runaway.
text: Reverse leakage current (I R ).
text: When a PN junction is reverse biased a very small leakage current (I R ) will flow due mainly to thermal activity within the semiconductor material, shaking loose free electrons.
text: 2.1.4, the diode should be turned off, but instead of the current through the diode falling instantly to zero, a reverse current (I R ) is set up as these minority carriers are attracted back across the junction (holes back into the P layer and electrons back into the N layer).
