P-N junction -

When p type semiconductor is mixed with N - type semiconductor, P-N junction formed

 

- wherein

There is very thin region (of the order of micro meter) called depution region.

 

 width of depletion region \propto \frac{1}{V}

V= Applied \:potential

i.e. If V is doubled width of depletion region will become half.
