A condition of operation of a semiconductor device, such as a transistor or a diode, in which a positive voltage is connected to the P-type material, and a negative voltage is connected to the N-type material. When the device is forward-biased, the barrier voltage is minimum, and the maximum amount of current can flow through it.
