The timestamps for the different topics covered in the video: 0:15 Avalanche breakdown effect 4:18 Zener diode and Zener breakdown effect 7:41 Effect of temperature of Avalanche and Zener breakdown voltages
It should've been mentioned that, in reality, the Zener effect is tunneling of charges across the (narrow) potential barrier. Valuable the mention about the reduction of the mean free path of carriers, with the temperature increase in the avalanche effect. Also worth mentioning the fact that in the region where zener and avalanche effect have similar effect, the temperature coefficient becomes nearly zero and devices are very good to make stable voltage regulators. Very good job however.
The strong built-in electric field results in a narrow depletion width. Zener breakdown occurs due to tunneling and is largely independent of the applied electric field. Even a small applied voltage can induce tunneling, as the majority carriers do not need to overcome the built-in potential.
Watch Neso Academy, they are good for digital electronics and coding related tutorials. All About Electronics does only analog electronics and circuits guess
I don't understand why the depletion zone gets narrower in Zener Breakdown? I am just a beginner. But I think when the PN junction is formed in a heavily doped region, the carriers through the PN junction should become more and penetrate deeper, so the depletion region should become wider, but the electrons and holes around the depletion region should be so dense that a large electric field is generated.
Since it is a heavily doped diode the majority charges are more and stronger hence the depletion region is small as there the depletion region is formed due to minority carriers
Your videos are awesome bro, such care is taken to create the images and graphs! Very amazing 😁 I have one suggestion though: please consider hiring a narrator to speak the text because I am very sorry to say but the spoken text is borderline incomprehensible, and requires so much thought to understand that it becomes distracting. I tried to turn on the subtitles (thanks for adding those!) but having to read the subtitles while following along with the images and graphs AND committing the information to memory at the same time is impossible for me. Maybe I am dumb? Who knows 🤪🤯 please consider my request. I am very sorry if this was in someway offensive because your content is epic and deserves nothing but the highest praise!
Personally, I think if he hired a narrator that would make things easier for people who aren't used to his accent, but if he just wants to put his own voice out there, I respect that. I found it hard to understand his voice at first too, but I think he should have his voice on them as a symbol of taking credit for his work.
Actually I find it only takes a moment to tune into his accent, his words don't run into each other nor do they drop off as I find with many American voices, I'm Scottish and people often seem to make little effort to overcome an unfamiliar accent whilst ignoring their own accent!@@Kevin-jz9bg
Because the Electric field E= V/d. So, as the depletion region width reduces, the electric field will become stronger. In addition to that now as both p and n regions are heavily doped, there will be more immobile ions in the same depletion region. So, the electric field will be much stronger. I hope it will clear your doubt.
In zener breakdown already the diode is heavily doped.and in avalanche if it is done then it will function same as zener , so rather read texts thoroughly than mugging up videos
You shouldn't use the term "knock out the electrons". The separation of valence electron from a atom solely depends on the energy of atom(determined by its temperature) which is provided by the minority charge carriers that have gained high energy and speed due to increase in reverse voltage. Better to say there is transfer of energy from minority charge carriers to the atoms on their path of movement.
SIR ONE DOUBT , WHEN TEMPERATURE INCREASE THEN SILICON ATOMS EXXITE AND GAIN KINETIC ENERGY CAUSING ATOMS TO IONIZE,THEN SHD AVALANCHE ALSO HAVE NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE THING BECAUSE HEAT CAUSES ATOM TO IONIZE AS ELECTRONS ALSO GAIN KINETIC ENERGY( YOU VIDEO HELPED ME A LOT SIR, THANK YOU SOO MUCH SIR) CLEAR EXPLANATION SIR BUT ONLY ONE DOUBT, PLEASE HELP ME SIR
Yess, but i think it is not, because the field effect is much more dominant on the effect of thermal ionization.... again its just a guess😁 btw, good question✌
@@samarthtandale9121 ooh so the temepratures they mention is it like 100 degrees or 50 degree celsius sir? if the temperatures are not too high i guess the field effect wioll dominate. Understood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thabkyoiu so much
breakdown voltage is a voltage at which the diode has elctrons in depletion region excite due to increase in reverse voltage and therefore the electric field is also increased and electron in depletion region strike on silicon and there fore the charge increases and current starts to flow and due to high current flow diode may damage. is this right
Sir but in the zener breakdown when u said that the depletion layer is going to decrease then how the no. of immovable ions are increasing? They should be decreasing as u said and hence the E.F will also be reducing....?
Due to the heavy doping, the electrons and holes will recombine very near to the junction itself. But the number of electrons or holes which are recombined will remain the same. So, the immobile ions will remain the same. But due to the heavy doping, the width of the depletion region will reduce. Means the same immobile ion now existing in the small depletion region. And due to that the built-in electric field is strong in the depletion region. (E= V/d) I hope it will clear your doubt.
How do immobile ions increase if depletion width increases? I thought immobile ions are formed only by the diffusion current. And the sole purpose of depletion width increasing is to prevent the flow of diffusion current. 🤔

0:34 to 0:40 . Depletion region of reverse biased p-n junction should be greater! But it is showing it lesser than forward biased!

You know, sometimes I zener to the corner
So, is this electric field explanation of the zener effect wrong?
he mentioned already!
The strong built-in electric field results in a narrow depletion width. Zener breakdown occurs due to tunneling and is largely independent of the applied electric field. Even a small applied voltage can induce tunneling, as the majority carriers do not need to overcome the built-in potential.
This saved me a lot of time. Very precise.

Amen, That is why he is my God.
good explaination bro
Great videos👍
Zener breakdown starts at 4:45 time
Awesome video👍👍👍
Please speed slow and effectiveness will increases, write at screen to more effictive
Sir, At 5:40 why the electric field is much stronger even though the depletion region width decreases
Because the Electric field E= V/d. So, as the depletion region width reduces, the electric field will become stronger.
In addition to that now as both p and n regions are heavily doped, there will be more immobile ions in the same depletion region.
So, the electric field will be much stronger.
I hope it will clear your doubt.

What's the effect of increased doping in case of avalanche breakdown voltage and zener breakdown voltage sir?
In zener breakdown already the diode is heavily doped.and in avalanche if it is done then it will function same as zener , so rather read texts thoroughly than mugging up videos

Nice video
I want to explain to me further about the electric field in the zener breakdown
9:05 but if the time for collision has reduced then shouldn’t it mean they reach the breakdown voltage lower?
Good explanation sir thank you🙏🙏
this was masterpiece
Sir in zener diode when depletion region is very less in unbiased condition then them how immobile ion will will be more
breakdown voltage is a voltage at which the diode has elctrons in depletion region excite due to increase in reverse voltage and therefore the electric field is also increased and electron in depletion region strike on silicon and there fore the charge increases and current starts to flow and due to high current flow diode may damage.
is this right
Nice

What is the difference between diffusion and tunneling
Sir but in the zener breakdown when u said that the depletion layer is going to decrease then how the no. of immovable ions are increasing? They should be decreasing as u said and hence the E.F will also be reducing....?

And due to that the built-in electric field is strong in the depletion region. (E= V/d)
I hope it will clear your doubt.
nice one.
At reverse bias condition there is a strong current
Bahut acche
Why does the zener diode does not break above zener voltage?
04:19 Zener Breakdown 👍❤
Good explanation but kindly repeat some sentences to take make understanding better
How do immobile ions increase if depletion width increases? I thought immobile ions are formed only by the diffusion current. And the sole purpose of depletion width increasing is to prevent the flow of diffusion current. 🤔
Or maybe it does because the majority charge carriers move away from the depletion region on both sides?
GREAT!!!!
What is the forward bias voltage drop of an avalanche diode?
Forward voltage drop is similar to the normal diode.( 0.6V to 0.7V)
@@ALLABOUTELECTRONICSshould it not be larger due to the doping
