MCQ
A Zener diode:
- AIs a lightly doped junction diode.
- BHeavily doped junction diode.
- CIs either p-type or n-type.
- DHas no p-n junction.
✓
Answer
- Heavily doped junction diode.
Explanation:
The reverse breakdown voltage depends on doping of the diode. Hence, in the Zener diode the heavy doping of its p-n junction is done. The depletion region formed in the diode is very thin (<1 m) and the reverse bias voltage of about 5 V which is less than ordinary diode.
