Why Reduction in Depletion region width with increase in doping?

Because Reverse bias constrained the majority carries to repel from both side (P side & N side)hence Depletion layer is formed with a large extant of majority carriers hence the depletion region is wider in reverse bias.


In pn junction the depletion region capacitance increase with reverse bias or decrease?

any capacitance is given by equation C = (epsilon * A/ d) where d is distance between two plates, thus as d reduces C increases. Now, in depletion region as we increase reverse bias, the depletion region width increases. Now consider depletion region as a parallel plate capacitor, with positive charges on n side and negative charges on p side. Thus, as reverse bias increases, d of junction capacitance increases thus capacitance reduces. On other hand, as reverse bias reduces, d of junction capacitance reduces, thus capacitance increases. -Amey Churi


What will happen to the depletion region when the P-N junction is supplied by forward bias?

depletion region will decrease.


What Depletion region will form?

A depletion region will form at the junction of a p-type and n-type semiconductor in a semiconductor diode. This region is depleted of charge carriers, creating an electric field that prevents further flow of current in the reverse bias direction.


How depletion width varies with biasing voltage?

when the diode is applied forward bias voltage the width of depletion region gets reduced the barrier voltage decreases there by facilitating the easy exchange of holes and electrons. when the diode is reverse biased the width of depletion region increases there by hindering the flow or exchange of charge carriers.


Why zener diodes are heavily doped?

Zener diodes are heavily doped to create a narrow depletion region, allowing them to operate in the reverse breakdown region where they exhibit the Zener effect. This effect causes the diode to conduct in reverse bias at a specific voltage, ideal for voltage regulation applications.


Which region zener diode can be used as regulator?

Reverse Bias


How does the depletion region in field effect transistor increases when forward biased?

Because the bulk charge and surface charge interacting with electric field (forward bias) creates the depletion region.


What is the relationship between capacitance and reverse bias voltage in an abrupt junction varactor diode?

Generally, the depletion region thickness is proportional to thehttp://www.answers.com/topic/square-root of the applied voltage; and http://www.answers.com/topic/capacitanceis inversely proportional to the depletion region thickness. Thus, the capacitance is inversely proportional to the square root of applied voltage.


Why a transistor can be operated in active region?

a transistor can only work in active region cox in active region collector base junction is in reverse bias and emitter base junction is in forward bias.


What happens to the diode if it has high piv?

It can be connected in high reverse bias voltage .


Why diode conducts current in forward bias but does not conduct in reversed bias?

diode current flows only when the diode is forward biased because in reverse bias the barrier potential increases. Diode can conduct in reverse bias if applied votage is high enough to overcome the reverse bias barrier potential but it can be destructive.
