Zener breakdown takes place if

A

Doped impurity is low

B

Doped impurity is high

C

Less impurity in N part

D

Less impurity in P type

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Zener breakdown can occur in heavily doped diodes. In lightly doped diodes the necessary voltage is higher, and avalanche multiplication is then the chief process involved.
