In p-n junction diode, near junction holes combine with electrons, and impurity ions form a barrier potential which opposes the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Value of barriers potential for Si is 0.7 volt and for Ge is 0.3 V. thus charge density at the junction becomes zero and an electric field is produced near junction. this region is called depletion layer. Thickness of depletion layer is of the order of `10^(-6)` meter. in forward bias p terminal is connected with the positive terminal of cell and n is connected with negative terminal of cell and n is connected with negative terminal of cell. as forward voltage is increased, current increases exponentially.
