In semiconductor physics, the depletion region, also called depletion layer, depletion zone, junction region, space charge region, or space charge layer, is an insulating region within a conductive, doped semiconductor material where the mobile charge carriers diffuse, or have been forced away by an electric field. The only elements left in the depletion region are ionized donor or acceptor impurities.
