In reverse bias a voltage is applied across the device such that the electric field at the junction increases. The high electric field in the depletion region decreases the probability that carriers can diffuse from one side of the junction to the other, hence the diffusion current decreases.
As in forward bias, By applying the lower electric field, the number of minority carriers on either side of the p-n junction limits the drift current and is relatively unchanged by the increased electric field. A small increase in the drift current is experienced due to the small increase in the width of the depletion region.
