(1) Zener effect : operating at low voltage (Vz < 5V) , (2) Avalanche effect: operating at higher voltage (Vz >7V) , For junction that breakdown between 5V and 7V the breakdown mechanism can be either the zener or the avalanche effect or a combination of the two. Zener breakdown When a heavily doped junction is reverse biased the energy bands become crossed at relatively low voltages. The ξ ↑ →it can break covalent bands. →generate electron-hole pairs. → the electrons will be swept into the N side and the holes swept into the P side, thus the electron-hole pairs constitute a reverse current.
