Скачать или смотреть Working of a Zener diode | Skill-Lync

In our PN Junction video, we said that in the reverse bias mode the diode will be completely damaged. To prevent this from happening we use Zener diodes.

Zener diode is similar to a PN junction diode. Except for the fact that here, the free electrons are increased largely. This makes the depletion region very thin. When a reverse bias is applied. The electrons get enough energy to travel from valence band to conduction band. Making them, conducting in nature.

Zener diodes find their applications in voltage regulators and clipping circuits.
