Physics - Semiconductors Question with Solution | TestHub

When Zener diode is forward biased, it behaves like an ordinary diode and when reversing biased, it will be a voltage stabilizer. Also, at room temperature, the voltage across the depletion layer for silicon is about$0.6 \mathrm{V}-0.7 \mathrm{V}$and for germanium is about$0.3 \mathrm{V}-0.35 \mathrm{V}$Hence, statement$A$is correct but statement$B$is wrong.
