0:34 to 0:40 . Depletion region of reverse biased p-n junction should be greater! But it is showing it lesser than forward biased!

[@revanthpatil56]

This saved me a lot of time. Very precise. Respect🙌👏

[@pierocampi2350]

It should've been mentioned that, in reality, the Zener effect is tunneling of charges across the (narrow) potential barrier. Valuable the mention about the reduction of the mean free path of carriers, with the temperature increase in the avalanche effect. Also worth mentioning the fact that in the region where zener and avalanche effect have similar effect, the temperature coefficient becomes nearly zero and devices are very good to make stable voltage regulators. Very good job however.

[@andyhype2546]

You know, sometimes I zener to the corner

[@blzKrg]

So, is this electric field explanation of the zener effect wrong?

[@ShrabantiDeb]

he mentioned already!

[@chrinovicbugere5112]

The strong built-in electric field results in a narrow depletion width. Zener breakdown occurs due to tunneling and is largely independent of the applied electric field. Even a small applied voltage can induce tunneling, as the majority carriers do not need to overcome the built-in potential.

Your videos are awesome bro, such care is taken to create the images and graphs! Very amazing 😁 I have one suggestion though: please consider hiring a narrator to speak the text because I am very sorry to say but the spoken text is borderline incomprehensible, and requires so much thought to understand that it becomes distracting. I tried to turn on the subtitles (thanks for adding those!) but having to read the subtitles while following along with the images and graphs AND committing the information to memory at the same time is impossible for me. Maybe I am dumb? Who knows 🤪🤯 please consider my request. I am very sorry if this was in someway offensive because your content is epic and deserves nothing but the highest praise!

[@Kevin-jz9bg]

Personally, I think if he hired a narrator that would make things easier for people who aren't used to his accent, but if he just wants to put his own voice out there, I respect that. I found it hard to understand his voice at first too, but I think he should have his voice on them as a symbol of taking credit for his work.

[@TheBauwssss]

@@Kevin-jz9bg I hadn't looked at it that way before, but now that you've suggested that it very much seems like a no brainer to me!

[@jonathanlister5644]

Actually I find it only takes a moment to tune into his accent, his words don't run into each other nor do they drop off as I find with many American voices, I'm Scottish and people often seem to make little effort to overcome an unfamiliar accent whilst ignoring their own accent!@@Kevin-jz9bg

[@driftingcrystal7285]

I don't understand why the depletion zone gets narrower in Zener Breakdown? I am just a beginner. But I think when the PN junction is formed in a heavily doped region, the carriers through the PN junction should become more and penetrate deeper, so the depletion region should become wider, but the electrons and holes around the depletion region should be so dense that a large electric field is generated.

[@siyandamalefetse1345]

This is because zener diodes are heavily doped

[@raghavendrareddy1411]

Sir, At 5:40 why the electric field is much stronger even though the depletion region width decreases

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Because the Electric field E= V/d. So, as the depletion region width reduces, the electric field will become stronger. In addition to that now as both p and n regions are heavily doped, there will be more immobile ions in the same depletion region. So, the electric field will be much stronger. I hope it will clear your doubt.

What's the effect of increased doping in case of avalanche breakdown voltage and zener breakdown voltage sir?

[@antiluichhami7633]

In zener breakdown already the diode is heavily doped.and in avalanche if it is done then it will function same as zener , so rather read texts thoroughly than mugging up videos

[@nishitadash2530]

Sir but in the zener breakdown when u said that the depletion layer is going to decrease then how the no. of immovable ions are increasing? They should be decreasing as u said and hence the E.F will also be reducing....?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

Due to the heavy doping, the electrons and holes will recombine very near to the junction itself. But the number of electrons or holes which are recombined will remain the same. So, the immobile ions will remain the same. But due to the heavy doping, the width of the depletion region will reduce. Means the same immobile ion now existing in the small depletion region. And due to that the built-in electric field is strong in the depletion region. (E= V/d) I hope it will clear your doubt.

breakdown voltage is a voltage at which the diode has elctrons in depletion region excite due to increase in reverse voltage and therefore the electric field is also increased and electron in depletion region strike on silicon and there fore the charge increases and current starts to flow and due to high current flow diode may damage. is this right

[@SachinKumar-js8yd]

nice one.

[@mukeshchoudhary3877]

Sir in zener diode when depletion region is very less in unbiased condition then them how immobile ion will will be more

[@physicsNCERTMatric]

What is the difference between diffusion and tunneling

[@AbhishekKumar-ft8uc]

👏

[@guhanrajasekar5993]

In avalanche breakdown, if the depletion width increases under reverse bias condition, how can the electric field increase in depletion field ? Because E=V/d. If d increases because of reverse bias, then E should decrease right ? But you said E would increase in depletion region during avalanche breakdown . Can you clarify this ?

[@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS]

The depletion region width d ∝ √ V. That means as the V increases, electric filed increases. I hope it will clear your doubt. If you still have any doubt, let me know here.

[@guhanrajasekar5993]

@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICS But sir there in zener breakdown you told that since E=V/d, as d decreases due to heavy doping , E increases. So there was an inverse relationship between d and E in zener breakdown. But here you are saying that they are directly proportional . Is there one generic relationship between E and d that can be followed throughout ?

[@starkendeavours7072]

the concentration of majority charge carriers in the depletion region is also increasing here, in reverse bias condition. So, hopefully may be the dependency is more predominant on the conc. of charges rather than width of space charge region.

[@pragatsharma1580]

Why does the zener diode does not break above zener voltage?

[@speckinspace]

How do immobile ions increase if depletion width increases? I thought immobile ions are formed only by the diffusion current. And the sole purpose of depletion width increasing is to prevent the flow of diffusion current. 🤔

[@speckinspace]

Or maybe it does because the majority charge carriers move away from the depletion region on both sides?

[@vandanap3891]

I have a doubt?? Depletion region lo atoms yela untayi

[@Divya-uq3xh]

No Immobile ions are present not the atoms!

[@ThePRAVESH11]

You shouldn't use the term "knock out the electrons". The separation of valence electron from a atom solely depends on the energy of atom(determined by its temperature) which is provided by the minority charge carriers that have gained high energy and speed due to increase in reverse voltage. Better to say there is transfer of energy from minority charge carriers to the atoms on their path of movement.

[@deshdeepaksingh6716]

Good explanation but kindly repeat some sentences to take make understanding better

[@jothid9049]

At reverse bias condition there is a strong current

[@Gruftgrabbler]

thank you :) For pn noise generators: how do I know that I picked the right diode or transistor? Is any diode or transistor okay which has a breakdown voltage about 6V or are there models out there which are super low-noise? Thx!
