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
