An avalanche sound like a roaring trucktor i think. It sould be like a hurricane.
A: As the reverse voltage is applied to the SCR increases at a certain point the device will start to conduct that is defined as the breakdown voltage for that device
The sudden sliding of snow is called an avalanche. Usually when there is an avalanche there is a lot of snow that slides from on top of a mountain.

effect of temperature on zener & avalanche breakdown
zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown.
Zener breakdown happens at low voltages, whereas avalanche breakdown happens at higher voltages. So diode with 6.2v is having zener breakdown rest is avalanche breakdown in this case.
Ther are generally Two types of Breakdown Phenomenons comes into picture. Namely- 1. Avalanche Breakdown 2. Zener Breakdown.
Silicon "zener diodes" with a zener voltage rating of 5.6V or higher operate mainly by avalanche breakdown, so both the 6.2V and 24V "zener diodes" are avalanche breakdown type (not zener breakdown type).
negative temperature coeeficient
breakdown is define as when current is fallowing in high volts and it breaks in air its called breakdown
Avalanche is when you surpass the negative bias voltage threshold and the zener breaks, thermal breakdown would be putting too much current or voltage across the zener and burning it out.
avalanche
Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon that can occur in both insulating and semiconducting materials. It is a form of electric current multiplication that can allow very large currents to flow within materials which are otherwise good insulators. It is a type of electron avalanche. The Avalanche process occurs when the carriers in the transition region are accelerated by the electric field to energies sufficient to free e- h pairs via collisions with bond electrons.
1. Differentiate Zener breakdown from avalanche breakdown? Zener Breakdown Avalanche breakdown 1.This occurs at junctions which being heavily doped have narrow depletion layers 2. This breakdown voltage sets a very strong electric field across this narrow layer. 3. Here electric field is very strong to rupture the covalent bonds thereby generating electronhole pairs. So even a small increase in reverse voltage is capable of producing large number of current carriers. ie why the junction has a very low resistance. This leads to Zener breakdown. 1. This occurs at junctions which being lightly doped have wide depletion layers. 2. Here electric field is not strong enough to produce Zener breakdown. 3. Her minority carriers collide with semi conductor atoms in the depletion region, which breaks the covalent bonds and electron-hole pairs are generated. Newly generated charge carriers are accelerated by the electric field which results in more collision and generates avalanche of charge carriers. This results in avalanche breakdown.
