Zener diodes with breakdown voltage ranging over $2 V$ – $200 V$ are commercially available. Breakdown voltage of a zener diode

Answer:

Solution:

Higher doping narrows the depletion region.

A strong breakdown field is reached at a lower applied reverse voltage.

Breakdown voltage therefore decreases.
