Semiconductor Electronics question

2022 · Q167

NEETPhysicsSemiconductor ElectronicsMCQ+4 / −1

The incorrect statement about the property of a Zener diode is :

  1. A
    p and n regions of Zener diode are heavily doped
  2. B
    Zener voltage remains constant at breakdown
  3. C
    It is designed to operate under reverse bias
  4. D
    Depletion region formed is very wide
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

Zener diode is special purpose p-n junction diode, which is generally operated in reverse bias for its operation of voltage regulation. It is a heavily doped p-n junction. Due to large doping concentration depletion width is narrower.
