See also depletion zone. Both of these articles need more work; they should be merged. There's significantly more Google hits for "depletion region" and "depletion layer" than there are hits for "depletion zone". - mak o 06:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
"An electric field results which is positive (+) on the N side and negative on the P side" is not very scientifically accurate: there is no such thing as a negative or positive electric field: electric field is a vector and the text should be fixed accordingly ("Electric field is oriented from the P- to the N- region" for example). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vmeunier ( talk • contribs) on 00:37, 16 September 2005.
Worth mentioning that the depletion region occures because electrons flow from high Ef (in the N-Type) to low Ef (in the P-Type) until Efn = Efp at equlibrium? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.88.252.132 ( talk • contribs) on 23:58, 12 January 2006.
i dont know much about depletion region but i think there is much info missing in the text if any one knows good link about this topic i'll be gratfull ...

Although the introduction of the article is general, the later discussion is limited to the pn-junction. Moved a sentence from the intro restricted to the pn-junction to the pn-junction paragaph. The reference added by this sentence provides virtually the same discussion as presented in this article. Therefore, retained this reference and deleted the sentence.

Hello I am not sure that the picture of junction with charges is right (this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pn-junction-equilibrium-graphs.png ). I mean the voltage never comme back to zero outside the junction whereas it should slowly, goodbye. Klinfran ( talk) 09:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
The p-n junction depletion width equation really should be on this page. It is: W = [(2*permittivity(Vo-V)/q*(Na+Nd)/(Na*Nd)]^(1/2). From Streetman, Solid State Electronics, 5th ed. 128.111.164.39 ( talk) 22:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC) this page doesn't contains much infm'n............. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.168.34.211 ( talk) 11:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
I've proposed merging depletion width into here because it doesn't make sense to have two small articles on this topic when one would do. Please support or oppose.
I've set up a merge of these two articles; please take a look. Brews ohare 23:06, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I was trying to read this when I noticed that these two edits http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Depletion_region&diff=528621764&oldid=493778972 had mutilated the article. So I rolled back a couple short repairs and those two edits. JohnPritchard ( talk) 23:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
