Reverse Saturation Current in EDC Formulas

Reverse Saturation Current is the part of the reverse current in a semiconductor diode caused by diffusion of minority carriers from the neutral regions to the depletion region. And is denoted by I_o. Reverse Saturation Current is usually measured using the Microampere for Electric Current. Note that the value of Reverse Saturation Current is always negative.
