The current through the diode is modeled as: I = Is * (exp (V / (N * Vt)) - 1) Where V is the voltage across the diode, Is is the saturation current, N is the ideality factor, and Vt is the thermal ...

According to theory, the current which flows across a P-n junction when it is biased in the reverse direction should be nearly independent of the applied voltage. This current is called the saturation ...
