Saturation current
text:
The saturation current, more accurately the reverse saturation current, is the part of the reverse current in a semiconductor diode caused by diffusion of minority carriers from the neutral regions to the depletion region. This current is almost independent of the reverse voltage. The reverse bias saturation current I S for an ideal p–n diode is: where Increase in reverse bias does not allow the majority charge carriers to diffuse across the junction. However, this potential helps some minority
