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.
What happens in the depletion region in reverse bias?
in forward biasing depletion region width decreases and in reverse biasing it increases .
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.
Why there is no current in reverse bias condition?
Current flows in a reverse biased diode because diodes are not ideal. They do have leakage current and a breakdown voltage in reverse, just as they have a breakdown current in forward and a non-linear and non-parallel forward voltage to current curve. It is also possible that you are looking at a zener diode. A zener diode is specifically design to conduct at a certain voltage in reverse.
What is zener break down voltage?
The point in the forward operating region of the characteristic curve where conduction starts to increase rapidly is called Knee voltage of a PN Junction Diode.The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse.(or) Breakdown voltage is a parameter of a diode that defines the largest reverse voltage that can be applied without causing an exponential increase in the current in the diode.-- Dinakar

What are forward and reverse bias?
Forward bias is when the height of the depletion layer is reduced such that a greater number of majority charge carriers have sufficient energy to overcome the potential barrier while revers bias is when the height of the potential barrier is increased so that very few majority charge carriers have sufficient energy to surmount the potential barrier. All the above phenomena takes place when a potential barrier is applied across the pn junction.
What is the international agreement that helped to reverse ozone depletion?
MONTREAL PROTOCOL was the international agreement that helped to reverse ozone depletion.

What can you do to slow and eventually reverse ozone depletion in the stratosphere?
To slow ozone depletion, CFC's must be curbed. They lead to ozone depletion.
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 effect of depletion layer by biasing?
on forward biasing width of the depletion layer decreases whereas on reverse biasing the width of depletion layer increases.
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 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.
Why does global warming stop healing ozone depletion?
Global warming relates with ozone depletion. The same is true for reverse.
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.
