Which conduction outcome results during avalanche breakdown in semiconductors?

💡 Explanation

Increased current occurs because impact ionization generates electron-hole pairs, sustaining the avalanche breakdown. The **electron-hole generation** leads to a sharp increase in current by overwhelming Shockley-Read-Hall statistics, rather than capacitance change under normal operation; therefore, current flow increases.
