What is PN Junction Diode Overview and Characteristics about?

1) A PN junction diode is formed by growing a single crystal of silicon or germanium that is half P-type and half N-type material. 2) When the two types of materials meet, a depletion region is formed where the electrons diffuse from N-type to P-type and holes diffuse from P-type to N-type. 3) This depletion region acts as a potential barrier that allows current to flow more easily in one direction, giving the diode its rectifying property.
