MCQ
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

Answer

  1. Doped impurity is high

Explanation:

Zener breakdown occurs due to heavily doped diodes.In this process electrons crosses the barrier from the valence band of the p-type to the conduction band of the lightly filled n-type material.
