avalanche diode [′av·ə‚lanch ′dī‚ōd]

(electronics)

A semiconductor breakdown diode, usually made of silicon, in which avalanche breakdown occurs across the entirepnjunction and voltage drop is then essentially constant and independent of current; the two most important types are IMPATT and TRAPATT diodes.
