Zener diode has both p and n-ends heavily doped so that-

Give reasons The Zener diode is fabricated by heavily doping both the p and n sides of the junction.

A Zener diode is fabricated by heavily doping both p and n-sides of the junction. Explain why? Briefly explain the use of Zener diode as a dc voltage regulator with the help of a circuit diagram.

A Zener diode is fabricated by heavily doping both p- and n-sides of the junctions. Explain, why ? Briefly explain the use of zener diode as a dc voltage regulator with the help of a circuit diagram.

Zener diode has higher dopant density as compared to ordinary p-n junction diode. How does if effect (i) the width of depletion layer and (ii) the junction field?
