Hey..here's yur ans..
ZENER DIODE are a special kind of diode which permits current flow in the forward direction this breakdown voltage is known as ZENER VOLTAGE

this is a little bit wrong... it works in reverse breakdown region not in forward....

hello friend..!!
ZENER DIODE :
1) a properly doped junction diode which has a sharp reverse breakdown voltage is called a zener diode .
2) this diode follow's reverse bias
3) the diode is heavily doped
4) since it is a heavily doped diode it's minority carriers increases .
5) zener diode acts as voltage regulator .
6) the reverse breakdown voltage is called zener voltage . , it almost remains constant across the diode .

the attached picture gives the graph of zener diode and cut off voltage
