This whitepaper examines the noise characteristics of avalanche breakdown diodes, focusing on ionization. It describes how a reverse-biased p-n junction creates an electric field that accelerates free electrons, leading to a chain reaction of dislodging bound electrons and initiating avalanche breakdown. The paper provides a detailed analysis of this process and its implications for diode behavior.
