A Zener diode is a special type of semiconductor diode that operates under reverse bias conditions. In simpler terms, it conducts electricity when the current flows in the opposite direction of a regular diode. It is named after Clarence Melvin Zener, who first described the electrical properties of this diode in 1934.
