“A p-n diode or p-n junction is a two terminal device formed by joining a
p-type and n-type semi-conductors.” A junction between p-type and
n-type is formed where holes and electrons diffuse into each other
thereby forming a depletion layer. The thickness of depletion layer
provides a potential barrier which prevent further migration of holes
and electrons through depletion layer. Thickness of depletion layer
could be increased or decreased by varying the potential of the
potential barrier, which increases or decreases the conductivity of
diode. A p-n diode could be used in electrical circuits across a
battery, as it permits the flow of current in one direction only.
