Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p In electronics, an avalanche diode is a diode (made from silicon or other semiconductor) that is designed to go through avalanche breakdown at a specified reverse bias voltage. The junction of an avalanche diode is designed to prevent current concentration at hot spots, so that the diode is undamaged by the breakdown. The avalanche breakdown is due to minority carriers accelerated enough to create ionization in the crystal lattice, producing more carriers which in turn create more ionization.. }
