What do you mean by zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown?

Answer Posted / hans francis

ZenerBreakdown===If the Diode is Heavliy dopped,the depletion
layer will be narrow. As a result very high electric field
exists across the depletion layer.Near the zener breakdown
voltage the field is very intense enough to pull electrons
from the covalant bond directly and create current
