The zener diode uses a p-n junction in reverse bias to make use of the zener effect, which is a breakdown phenomenon which holds the voltage close to a constant value called the zener voltage. It is useful in zener regulators to provide a more constant voltage, for improvement of regulated power supplies, and for limiter applications.
