The incorrect statement about the property of a Zener diode is:

The incorrect statement about the property of a Zener diode is:
  1. Zener voltage remains constant at breakdown
  2. It is designed to operate under reverse bias
  3. Depletion region formed is very wide
  4. $\quad p$ and $n$ regions of zener diode are heavily doped

Solution

Zener diode is highly doped $p$ - $n$ junction, and zener voltage is constant. Its depletion region is very thin.
