| Zener diode | semiconductor diode exploiting Zener tunneling resulting from impact ionization taking place in the p-n junction at the very high electric field. |
| zener effect | occurs in heavily doped p-n junctions at high reverse-bias voltage; energy bands in the junction region are sloped in such way that electron may tunnel directly from the valence band in n-type region to the conduction band in p-type region causing rapid increase of curreent; may cause breakdown of p-n junction but also can be used in a controlled fashion to make a functional device |
| Zerbst plot | The way of plotting capacitance vs. time relationship for MOS capacitor pulsed into deep depletion; allows determination of generation and recombination lifetime in semiconductor substrate. |
