the p-n junction diode will perform satisfactorily only if it is operated within certain limiting values or conditions.The are :-
1. Maximum forward current : it is the highest instantaneous current under forward bias.
2.Peak inverse voltage:
3.maximum power rating:it is the maximum power that can be dissipated at the junction without damaging it.

I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
As temperature rises more minority carriers are created, causing leakage across the junction to rise. This can cause runaway and eventual destruction of the junction.
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
