• Avalanche breakdown — is a phenomenon that can occur in both insulating and semiconducting materials. It is a form of electric current multiplication that can allow very large currents to flow within materials which are otherwise good insulators. Explanation Avalanche …   Wikipedia

• Avalanche photodiode — Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are photodetectors that can be regarded as the semiconductor analog to photomultipliers. By applying a high reverse bias voltage (typically 100 200 V in silicon), APDs show an internal current gain effect (around 100) …   Wikipedia

• Breakdown voltage — of an Insulator is the minimum voltage that causes a portion of an insulator to become electrically conductive. Breakdown Voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse. Some devices (such as TRIACs) also… …   Wikipedia
