Avalanche Breakdown

The mechanism of avalanche breakdown occurs because of the reverse saturation current. The P-type and N-type material together forms the PN-junction. The depletion region develops at the junction where the P and N-type material contact.

The mechanism of avalanche breakdown occurs because of the reverse saturation current. The P-type and N-type material together forms the PN-junction. The depletion region develops at the junction where the P and N-type material contact.The P and N-type materials of the PN junction are not perfect, and they have some impurities in it, i.e., the p-type material has some electrons, and the N-type material has some hole in it. The width of the depletion region varies. Their width depends on the bias applied to the terminal of P and N region.

Zener Breakdown

The PN junction is formed by the combination of the p-type and the n-type semiconductor material. The combination of the P-type and N-type regions creates the depletion region. The width of the depletion region depends on the doping of the P and N-type semiconductor material. If the material is heavily doped, the width of the depletion region becomes very thin.

The width of the depletion region depends on the doping of the P and N-type semiconductor material. If the material is heavily doped, the width of the depletion region becomes very thin.The phenomenon of the Zener breakdown occurs in the very thin depletion region. The thin depletion region has more numbers of free electrons. The reverse bias applies across the PN junction develops the electric field intensity across the depletion region. The strength of the electric field intensity becomes very high.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon that can occur in both insulating and semiconducting materials. It is a form of electric current multiplication that can allow very large currents within materials which are otherwise good insulators. It is a type of electron avalanche.....

In electronics, the Zener effect is a type of electrical breakdown, discovered by Clarence Melvin Zener.
