To determine reverse saturation current of diode

Obtain the forward characteristics of the diode. Note any V & I after the knee voltage.
Substitute in equation;

I = Io(e^(V/nVT) - 1 )
n = 1 for Ge, 2 for Si
Vt = 26mV

Find reverse saturation current !

Or reverse bias the diode & determine the current flowing through using uA
