The built in potential in a pn junction. Due to the difference in carrier concentration between the sides of a pn junction. Diffusion potential increases with increase in doping levels.
We use pn junction diode in rfctification as a rectifier becase it allows current to flow in one direction only, i.e. in forward biase only , and stop current to flow in reverse baised. thats why we use pn junction diode in rectification.
semiconductor diode with out a pn junction.

zener diode
A pn junction can be formed by bringing the p and n type materials together.
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
The resistance of a forward biased pn junction is zero.
There are 2 type of biasing in PN junction didoe Forward biasing Reverse biasing
no....is n't
One
When the pn junction is forward biased, some of the space charge is neutralized reducing the width of the pn junction.

limts of operating a p-n junction
As temperature rises more minority carriers are created, causing leakage across the junction to rise. This can cause runaway and eventual destruction of the junction.

diode is unipolar
