Breakdown Region Zener Diode. A zener diode’s ability to maintain almost constant voltage in its breakdown region makes it suitable for regulating voltage even in. Unlike ordinary rectifier diodes, which are never intended to be operated at or near breakdown, a zener diode is designed to operate in the breakdown region. These are explained below in details. Once the reverse voltage applied across the zener diode exceeds the rated voltage of the device, a process called zener breakdown occurs in the semiconductor depletion layer and a current. Zener diode is a type of semiconductor diode that operates in the reverse breakdown region, allowing it to maintain a nearly constant voltage across its terminals over a wide range of. The avalanche breakdown occurs because of the ionisation of electrons and hole pairs whereas the zener breakdown occurs because of heavy doping. The zener and avalanche breakdown both occur in diode under reverse bias. A zener diode in breakdown acts somewhat like a voltage source—the voltage across it is nearly independent of the (positive) current through it.
