Additionally, it doesn't describe the "leveling off" of the I–V curve at high forward bias due to internal resistance.
This barrier arrangement helps reduce minority carrier injection from the base when the emitter-base junction is under forward bias, and thus reduces base current and increases emitter injection efficiency.
Nearly all JFETs are depletion-mode because the diode junctions would forward bias and conduct if they were enhancement-mode devices; most IGFETs are enhancement-mode types.
For even rather small forward bias voltages the exponential is very large, since the thermal voltage is very small in comparison.
Work function of hot electron emitter Energy level diagrams for thermionic diode in forward bias configuration, used to extract all hot electrons coming out from the emitter's surface.
