what is the difference between diode and zener diode?

Answer Posted / sally

zener operation is same as that of the ordinary pn junction
under the forward bias condition.Where as under reverse
biased condition break down of the junction occurs. If it
is heavily doped, depletion layer will be thin and
breakdown occurs at a very low reverse voltage.
