833:), I = 5.41 mAmps (54 times the value when V was 0.6V)! If a small diode, it will surely burn out with this current ! We assumed that the applied voltage appears across the junction entirely ignoring the voltage drops across the bulk of the p and n regions. It is reasonable to assume that, yet, as the applied voltage approaches Vo = 0.703V, and the current increases, some voltage will begin to drop across the bulk p and n regions (the electric field in these regions increases) and across the resistance of the ohmic contacts to uphold the current conservation law while, the part of the applied voltage that lowers the barrier potential Vo, makes the voltage across the junction close to zero but, not equal to zero and a vanishingly thin depletion region remains that demarcates the p and the n regions with holes (from the p-side) and electrons (from the n-side) recombining all around. Only a small part of the applied voltage lowers the barrier potential V

decrease before electron density increases, or at least, hole density would decrease faster than electron density increases. In fact I suspect that most electrons coming to the P side from the N sides would recombine with one of the holes they find on their way. Same goes for holes crossing the junctions from the P side to the N side, I'd expect most of them to recombine with an electron from the N side. Thus, the first thing you'd see when you get closer to the junction from either side is a decrease of the majority carrier, not an increase of the minority carrier.

fact, the quantum excitation called an "electron" is not really the same as a free electron at all, because it also has a different mass from a free electron. It is another kind of quantum excitation that isn't the same as a single free particle, but nevertheless it's perfectly "real" in that it accurately describes the low-energy quantum states of the semiconductor system. So if you want to say "holes aren't real", then you have to say that these kinds of "electrons" in a semiconductor aren't real either. If holes aren't real, then what the heck is a

Likewise, because the n-type region is connected to the positive terminal, the electrons will also be pulled away from the junction, with similar effect. This increases the voltage barrier causing a high resistance to the flow of charge carriers, thus allowing minimal electric current to cross the p–n junction. The increase in resistance of the p–n junction results in the junction behaving as an insulator."

OTOH a recent 'rm' edit taking away text about 'commonly' producing the junctions by alloying (not common now, even though common a long time ago) seems correct for current technology: alloying was a usual method of making germanium junction transistors in days gone by, but that was replaced by silicon wafer/diffusion technology.

Not being an expert in semiconductor physics, I'm not sure, but I strongly suspect the figure A.A might not be accurate. Because electrons can recombine with holes, right?
