Changes

Since no free charge carriers can rest in a position where there is a potential barrier, the regions on either sides of the junction now become completely depleted of any more free carriers in comparison to the N and P type materials further away from the junction. This zone around the '''PN Junction''' is now called the '''Depletion''' Layer.
