there is no forward breakdown voltage for any diode
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
The critical value of the voltage, at which the breakdown of a P-N junction diode occurs is called the breakdown voltage.The breakdown voltage depends on the width of the depletion region, which, in turn, depends on the doping level. The junction offers almost zero resistance at the breakdown point.
The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum voltage at which it conducts in both directions. If you have a 100-volt rectifier diode (1N4002) and you wire it into a 110v circuit, it will flow current in both directions and you'll get no rectification.

zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown.
Normally too higher voltage burns the diode.
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.
A Zener Diode will continue to show its breakdown characteristics until it gets fried...for example a 5 volt zener will get fried at a breakdown voltage of about 6 volts..this happens because of the large amount of current flowing through the small diode which unfortunately the diode cannot handle.
general purpose diode with 1000V reverse breakdown.
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.

It depends on the particular diode. They come in all different values.

A: A zener is a diode that when connected in the reverse mode current direction it will breakdown to a predetermined voltage any further increasing voltage the breakdown will remain practically the same.
