A one-sided pn junction is a semiconductor device where one side is heavily doped with p-type material, while the other side is lightly doped with n-type material. This creates a significant difference in carrier concentration across the junction, leading to a built-in electric field that facilitates charge carrier movement. As a result, it exhibits distinct electrical characteristics, such as a higher barrier for minority carriers and enhanced rectifying behavior. One-sided pn junctions are often used in applications like photodiodes and certain types of transistors.
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
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.
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
A pn junction can be formed by bringing the p and n type materials together.

the material in which using for doping is already neutral.,,so the pn-junction diode also neutral........

no....is n't
One
When the pn junction is forward biased, some of the space charge is neutralized reducing the width of the pn 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.
limts of operating a p-n junction
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.
We use pn junction diode in rfctification as a rectifier becase it allows current to flow in one direction only, i.e. in forward biase only , and stop current to flow in reverse baised. thats why we use pn junction diode in rectification.
