What do you mean by zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown?
Answer Posted / james bani legei
zener breakdown is the breaking of the zener diode due to
its breakdown voltage being exceeded .it is cause by high
energy from the current supplied.this energy is used to
break the covalent bonds setting electrons free in large
numbers hence high current conduction in the reverse direction.
avalanche breakdown is caused by current that set few
electrons free,this eletrons starts moving freely hence
colliding and breaking the bonds setting more electrons free
