I understand there is 3 components of reverse current in a diode.
1. Transient
2. Minority-Carrier (saturation current)
3. Surface Leakage
The question I am trying to solve asks for the values of surface leakage current and the saturation current at 25 deg C.
It gives the information that the diode has a reverse current of 5uA at 25 deg C and a reverse current at 100uA at 100 deg C.
What do they mean when they say reverse current? Is the "reverse current" the 1. transient current or 2. saturation current or 3. surface leakage current?
Is the value of reverse current all three of these added up? or is reverse current value the same as just one of these three types?
Thanks
