A Zener diode that has very narrow depletion layer will breakdown by____________ mechanism?
Correct answer: B. Zener
- A. Avalanche
- B. Zener
- C. Both avalanche and Zener
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A very narrow depletion region produces a strong electric field at relatively low reverse voltage, causing Zener breakdown. Avalanche breakdown is associated with a comparatively wider depletion region and higher voltage.
