An ideal diode would match the purpose of a diode without any of the drawbacks. The purpose of a diode is to control current flow - The diode "turns on" for current flowing in one direction, and "turns off" if current wants to flow in the other direction. Ideally, there would be no voltage drop across this diode when allowing current flow, thus no power loss. When the diode is "turned off" by a negative voltage, idealy there would be no current flow (no matter how large the negative voltage).

Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.

How much forward diode voltage is there with the ideal diode approximation?
Consider ideal diode to be connected in series with resistor of 6kSilicon diode forward bias voltage = 0.7 voltsCurrent across 6k resistor = (5-0.7)/6000 amperesVoltage across {resistor + diode}=4.3 + 0.7=5vIf silicon internal resistance is 6k then voltage across diode=5vIf external resistance is 6k and diode resistance is negligible then voltage across diode=0.7v
