Zener diode, in reverse has the same behaviour as diode.In reverse, the diode, when reaching Vmax, the diode goes into avalanche effect mode and get destroyed, whereas as for the Zener it is fine. Why is that?Also, I know than Zener diode are heavily doped contrary to diode. So the depletion zone is thinner for the Zener Diode. What are the ramifications of that? And what can we deduce as for the Zener's functioning?
