In a PN junction under reverse bias, a small bit of current exists due to the movement of minority carriers. Under equilbrium, no current passes through. Am I right in thinking that the movement of minority carriers under equilibrium is canceled by the little bit of majority carriers that passes (resulting in a net current of zero), and that under reverse bias, not enough majority carrier passes through to cancel out minority carrier movement? I couldn't find many sources that explained this aspect...
