Understanding Diode Conductivity: The Role of Conduction and Valence Electrons
Thank you,dlgoff! That's a different way to think about it.But I don't know whether it is a metal-semiconductor junction.- xunrichard

Understanding Diode Conductivity: The Role of Conduction and Valence Electrons
As we are told in the books,a diode can be conductive by a forward-bias of about 0.7v. Thus,current through the n region is formed by the conduction electrons(free electrons in the conduction band) toward the junction.But in the p region,current is formed by the valence electrons from holes...- xunrichard
