Assume we have a closed diode circuit .We connect the n type region of the diode to the positive terminal of the battery.We connect the p type region of the diode to the negative terminal of the battery.The depletion layer is increased.Now we open the circuit.Why the diode returns to its zero bias mode ?The lattice of silicon is more uniform and electrons have created bonds with unpaired electrons from Si atoms so they could not "return". What am I missing?
