The width of depletion layer of a P-N junction

A. Decreases with light doping

B. Increases with heavy doping

C. Is independent of applied voltage

D. Is increased under reverse bias

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The total width of the depletion region is a function of applied reverse-bias and impurity concentration. Forward bias decreases the depletion region width whilst reverse bias increases it.
