Answer:
Zener diode is heavily doped than the normal p-n junction diode. Hence, it has very thin depletion region. ... Zener diode allows electric current in forward direction like a normal diode but also allows electric current in the reverse direction if the applied reverse voltage is greater than the zener voltage

Answer:
Zener diode is a form of semiconductor at a critical reverse voltage. It is silicon semiconductor.It can flow forward or reverse direction. It is heavily doped p-n junction. Heavily doped Zener diode has a low breakdown voltage. While lightly doped zener diode has a high breakdown voltage.
