In a 15 V Zener diode , the breakdown mechanism will occur by ______________?
Correct answer: A. Avalanche mechanism
- A. Avalanche mechanism
- B. Zener mechanism
- C. Both Zener and avalanche mechanism
- D. None of the above
Explanation
At approximately 15 V, breakdown is predominantly due to avalanche multiplication rather than the low-voltage Zener effect. The two mechanisms are most closely associated near the transition region around 5 to 6 V.
