Hi everyone,
Can you guy explain to me how does a current flow in a PN when it operated in a reverse bias. What i know is that when apply negative voltage terminal at the P substrate and the positive terminal at the N substrate, the depletion region get increase. Also, the electron in the N substrate can not jump to the Hole in the P substrate. So by theory, there will be no current in a reverse bias mode. However, in a NPN transistor, the current do get flow in a reverse bias condition. Can you explain me this confusion.
Thank you.
