in a un-doped semiconductor charge carrier can move in any direction under applied potential difference. but when it is doped with p and n type then a junction gets form around which due to concentration gradient depletion region gets formed. now, this pn juncton will conduct current only when forward bias and stops (still leakage current is there) when reverse bias. thus it acts as a rectifier now

What is Another name for pn junction?
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
What is the junction resistance of pn junction diode?
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
What are the types of biasing in pn junction diode?
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
What is the effect of temperature on PN junction diodes?
As temperature rises more minority carriers are created, causing leakage across the junction to rise. This can cause runaway and eventual destruction of the junction.
What is the opposite of diode?
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
How a pn-junction can be formed?
A pn junction can be formed by bringing the p and n type materials together.
What is Another name for pn junction?
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
Why pn junction is neutral?
the material in which using for doping is already neutral.,,so the pn-junction diode also neutral........
What is the junction resistance of pn junction diode?
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
What are the types of biasing in pn junction diode?
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
Can you make a tyristor by tow pn junction diode?
we cannot make thyristor using two diodes. because the PN junction cannot be made when we connect with wires or solder it. that junction is only formed when we diffuse n material into a P material and vice versa.
Is Gunn diode a PN junction?
no....is n't
How many PN junction are there in FET?
One
How depletion region is narrowed during forward biasing?
When the pn junction is forward biased, some of the space charge is neutralized reducing the width of the pn junction.
What are the limitations in the operating conditions of pn-junction?
limts of operating a p-n junction
Diffusion potential in p-n junction?
The built in potential in a pn junction. Due to the difference in carrier concentration between the sides of a pn junction. Diffusion potential increases with increase in doping levels.
What is the effect of temperature on PN junction diodes?
As temperature rises more minority carriers are created, causing leakage across the junction to rise. This can cause runaway and eventual destruction of the junction.
