Because the voltage/current curve is not as steep as we would like and because the diode is too sensitive to thermal effects in this area.
The approximate voltage across the forward-biased base-emitter junction is 0.7 volts.
0.7 The voltage across a silicon diode when it is forward biased should be greater than or equal (>=) 0.7volts.
The current is nearly zero at a voltage less than 0.4v in a forward biased silicon diode because of the small forward-bias voltage.
The voltage across a forward-biased PN junction in a semiconductor diode or transistor.
That depends on the zener voltage rating:"low voltage" zeners are just a simple single diode, the zener diode"high voltage" zeners contain 2 back to back diodes in one package, the zener diode and an ordinary diode that is reverse biased when the zener diode is forward biased to block forward conduction of the zener and protect it from overcurrent damage if installed backwards by mistakeThus in "low voltage" zeners when forward biased they will have a normal diode drop (e.g. 0.7V), but "high voltage" zeners when "forward biased" they will act open due to the reverse biased blocking/protection diode in series with the zener.

About 0.2V
To be forward biased any diode (e.g. vacuum tube, crystal, junction, point contact) must have its relative anode voltage more positive than its cathode voltage. If the absolute anode voltage is negative but the cathode voltage is even more negative, then the diode will be forward biased. But as your question made no mention at all of the cathode, I cannot tell if this is the case or not.
Work in reverse bias.(breakdown at a particular voltage to keep the volt. constant so used as voltage regulator) same as diode when forward biased.
a diode and it has a constant voltage across it ANSWER: acts as a voltage regulator if enough current flows to create a breakdown voltage.
Zero current flow when reverse biased, zero voltage drop when forward biased.
Cut-in voltage is the value of voltage at which appreciable current begins to flow when a pn junction is forward biased.
acts like a normal diode in forward biased condition
