If the doping level of a crystal diode is increased, the breakdown voltage__________________?

Correct answer: C. is decreased

  • A. remains the same
  • B. is increased
  • C. is decreased
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

Heavier doping narrows the depletion region and causes breakdown at a lower reverse voltage, especially in a Zener-type junction. Therefore, the breakdown voltage decreases.
