Which conduction effect occurs when the applied bias overcomes threshold?

A)Zener diode avalanche breakdown occurs
B)Schottky contact depletion layer widens
C)MOSFET channel gets pinched off
D)Transistor enters the saturation mode

💡 Explanation

Zener diode avalanche breakdown occurs due to strong electrical fields causing electrons to tunnel at narrow band gaps, because electron hole pairs get generated by impact ionization; Therefore this outcome becomes apparent at larger voltages, rather than limiting the reverse current like other diodes under lower constraint.
