Does any current flow in reverse PN junction?

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 5254948, member: 423469"] There is some reverse current but it's very small because it's the minority carriers involved. For example in the P-type material the majority charge carriers are holes. It's better to think of electrons that are injected from the -ve as reducing the number of holes available making it less conductive, rather than being free electrons able to go across the barrier.
