The resistance of a reverse biased $P-N$ junction diode is about

In a $p-n$ junction diode, the current $I$ can be expressed as $I=I_{0} \left[\exp \left(\frac{e V}{k_{B} T}\right)-1\right]$, where $I_{0}$ is the reverse saturation current, $V$ is the voltage across the diode (positive for forward bias, negative for reverse bias), $I$ is the current through the diode, $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant $(8.6 \times 10^{-5} \; eV/K)$, and $T$ is the absolute temperature. If for a given diode $I_{0}=5 \times 10^{-12} \; A$ and $T=300 \; K$, then:
