Avalanche breakdown occurs when a semiconductor device is subjected to a high electric field that causes a chain reaction of impact ionization, leading to a rapid increase in current. This phenomenon is used intentionally in certain electronic components like avalanche and Zener diodes but can also lead to device failure if not properly managed.
