Bohr model of an atomAs seen in this model, electrons circle the nucleus. Atomic structure of a material determines its ability to conduct or insulate.
Covalent Bonding ( )Covalent bonding is a bonding of two or more atoms by the interaction of their valence electrons.
The process of creating N- and P-type materials is called doping.Other atoms with 5 electrons such as Antimony () are added to Silicon to increase the free electrons. Other atoms with 3 electrons such as Boron () are added to Silicon to create a deficiency of electrons or hole charges.

Depletion zone to insulating stateAt the junction, free electrons from the N-type material fill holes from the P-type material. This creates an insulating layer in the middle of the diode called the depletion zone.
How To get rid of the depletion zone?
When the negative end of the circuit is hooked up to the Ntype layer and the positive end is hooked up to P-type layer, electrons and holes start moving and the depletion zone disappears.
When the positive end of the circuit is hooked up to the Ntype layer and the negative end is hooked up to the Ptype layer, free electrons collect on one end of the diode and holes collect on the other. The depletion zone gets bigger.
