Thanks, I wasnt confusing reverese bias, I just didnt know if that exponential resistance flattened out. Thanks for clearing it up.

Probably a really stupid question but for a pn diode in complete forward bias i.e 6volts (switch on 0.7volts), does it behave like a normal resistor or is it a squared resistance till say 200 volts and is there a forward voltage breakdown mechanism. I can only find I V curves that got to about...
