The avalanche breakdown voltage of a p-n junction:
The avalanche breakdown voltage of a p-n junction:
Show Hint
Remember:
Higher Doping $\rightarrow$ Thinner Depletion Layer $\rightarrow$ Lower Breakdown Voltage.
Smaller Bandgap $\rightarrow$ Less energy needed to generate electron-hole pairs $\rightarrow$ Lower Breakdown Voltage.
