Question

What is the maximum forward voltage?

Answer 1

A diode is a two-terminal electrical component with low (preferably zero) resistance in one direction and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. It conducts current predominantly in one way (asymmetric conductance). A vacuum tube having two electrodes, a heated cathode and a plate, in which electrons may only flow in one direction, from cathode to plate, is known as a diode vacuum tube or thermionic diode.

Complete answer:
The external voltage is supplied across the P-N junction diode in forward bias or biassing. The P-side of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, while the N-side is connected to the negative terminal. The applied voltage is in this case the polarity of the junction barrier potential. As a result, the effective potential barrier and junction width both drop, resulting in a greater number of carriers flowing over the junction. Furthermore, the amount of voltage necessary to completely remove the barrier is lower. The bulk of charge carriers are forced to travel over a forward biassed PN junction.
The breadth of the depletion layer is shrinking as a result of this.
Once the connection is crossed, the amount of holes and electrons is added together. Each hole on the P side attracts one electron from the N side. A covalent bond will break as a result of this, and an electron produced by the covalent bond will travel towards the positive terminal.
A pair of electrons and holes has formed.
In the P area, holes transport current.
In the N region, electrons transport current.
The maximum forward voltage is the voltage necessary to allow current to pass across the diode's junction. The forward voltage of the diode must be known in order for current to flow across the junction of the diode.

Note:
Minority carriers from the p and n areas become injected minority carriers when they cross into the opposite regions. The concentration of injected minority carriers will be highest near the edge of the depletion layer on the opposite side, then spread into the area. As a result, forward current is both diffusion and minority carrier current.
