The temperature coefficient of a zener mechanism is

Question

The temperature coefficient of a zener mechanism is (A) negative (B) positive (C) infinity (D) zero

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Zener breakdown occurs in heavily doped p-n junction. The temperature coefficient of the zener mechanism is negative or the breakdown voltage for a particular diode decreases with increasing temperature.
