Zener breakdown occurs

Question:

Zener breakdown occurs in a $p-n$ junction having $\mathrm{p}$ and $\mathrm{n}$ both :

  1. lightly doped and have wide depletion layer.

  2. heavily doped and have narrow depletion layer.

  3. lightly doped and have narrow depletion laver.

  4. heavily doped and have wide depletion layer.


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

Zener diode is heavily doped and have narrow depletion layer.

Option (2) is correct.
