What do you mean by zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown?

Answer Posted / lalit

I just want to know if anyone can explain that why is zener
breakdown reversible and why not avalanche breakdown
although the depletion region width is more in normal pn
junction diode and less in zener diode. This also means
that the junction at zener diode is more easily breakable.
