Why breakdown voltage increase in reverse biased p-n junction diode?
when the p-n junction is heavily doped p-n junction diode has very sharp breakdown voltage.
Can a transister base-emitter junction be used as a zener diode?
No, the doping profile is entirely wrong. Also some transistors have very low reverse breakdown voltage on the BE junction and will burn out!
What is junction temperature of the transistor?
The junction temperature is limited by the relationship between temperature and life, and the characteristics of the materials composing the transistor. Furthermore, transistors use minority carriers and thus are easily affected by temperature. In particular , if the temperature rises in a reverse-biased collector-base junction, carriers are generated without relation to the signal, the operating point shifts, and in the worst case thermal runaway occurs and the transistor becomes damaged. For this reason, the circuit must be designed so as to prevent the junction temperature from rising. Transistor deterioration occurs quickly when the junction temperature rises.
How do you xxplain the zener shunt regulator?
zener diode is a special type of pn junction diode that work in breakdown region . There are two types of brekdowns in zener i.e avlanche breakdown and zener breakdown depending on the doping concentration. A zener diode in an on state can be considered as a voltage source ,equal to its zener voltage n hence act as an voltage regulator
How zener diode differ from normal p-n junction diode?
Zener diodes differ from normal p-n junction diodes in that they have a reduced reverse breakdown voltage and, in fact, we normally operate zener diodes in reverse bias to take advantage of the relatively stable voltage regulation it provides.
What is breakdown voltage of 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.
For a normal p-n junction diod like 1n4007 at around what forward voltage does avalanche breakdown occurs?
1KV
Why breakdown voltage increase in reverse biased p-n junction diode?
when the p-n junction is heavily doped p-n junction diode has very sharp breakdown voltage.
What is an adherens junction?
An adherens junction is a protein complex which occurs at cell-cell junctions in epithelial tissues.
What is avalanche break down in scr?
Avalanche breakdown in Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) refers to the rapid increase in current flow through the device due to high reverse voltage. This phenomenon occurs when the reverse voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the SCR, causing a sudden breakdown of the junction and a rapid increase in current flow. Avalanche breakdown can damage the SCR if not properly controlled.
Can a transister base-emitter junction be used as a zener diode?
No, the doping profile is entirely wrong. Also some transistors have very low reverse breakdown voltage on the BE junction and will burn out!
Can a transistor base emitter junction be used as zener diodes?

How can avalanche breakdown be avoided in FET?
Breakdown depends on the electric field value in FETS (as in diodes and such, where you can find a junction). Theoretically, you need to - dope less the junction region of your device (like p-i-n diodes, the i (intrinsic) region is not doped in order to reduce E field peak, which occurs near the center of the device). - raise the length of your device Both of these two solutions will have the drawback of increasing your ON resistance. At circuit design level, you can protect your devices with clamp diodes or something similar.
What is knee voltage and breakdown voltage?
Knee voltage (cut in voltage) :-The forward voltage at which the current through the P-N Junction starts increasing rapidly is called as Cut in voltage or knee voltage Breakdown voltage :-It is the minimum reverse voltage at which the P-N Junction can conduct without damage to the current
In a cell breakdown of molecules in order to release energy occurs in the?
Mitochondria.
What is breakdown region?
The breakdown region of a transistor is the region where the supply voltage, Vcc, becomes so large that the collector-emitter junction of the transistor breaks down and conducts, even though there is no base current.
What are three types of extracellular junctions?
Within the multicellular organism tissues, a cell junction occurs. Animals have four kinds of intercellular junctions which are gap junction, desmosomes, adherens junction and tight junction,
