− | + | zener breakdown | avalanche breakdown | |
− | + | Both sides of PN junction are heavily doped in zener breakdown | Both sides of PN junction are lightly doped in avalanche breakdown | |
− | + | A strong electric field is produced |Electric field produced is weak | |
− | + | Large number of holes and electrons are produced |Electron hole pairs are generated | |
− | + | Zener current is independent of applied voltage |Charge carriers acquire energy from the applied potential | |
