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.

What is significance of depletion region?

Depletion region is the region where current carriers such as electrons and holes are absent.


Why base spreading resistance is not considered at low frequencies?

Base spreading resistance depends on doping of the p-n junction and also the width of depletion region of the p-n junction. Thats what i knw.


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

depletion region will decrease.


What happens in the depletion region in reverse bias?

in forward biasing depletion region width decreases and in reverse biasing it increases .


Why depletion region is small in germanium compared to silicon?

The depletion region is smaller in germanium compared to silicon because germanium has a lower bandgap energy, meaning that charge carriers can easily cross the depletion region and recombine on the other side. This results in a smaller built-in potential and a smaller depletion region in germanium.


How depletion region?

Why charge carriers are not present in depletion region of am pn junction?

depletion region is formed only after recombination of holes and electrons..so in depletion region there are only and only immoble positive and nagative ions...hence,there is no charge carrier..


Is a depletion region a good conductor?

No, a depletion region is not a good conductor. It is an insulating region formed in a semiconductor material when a voltage is applied, creating a barrier to the flow of current.
