Reverse breakdown voltage

Japanese: 逆降伏電圧 - ぎゃこうぶくでんあつ
Reverse breakdown voltage

…When the reverse voltage exceeds a certain value , VRB , the current increases rapidly due to avalanche breakdown at the junction and tunneling, leading to the destruction of the element. VRB is called the reverse breakdown voltage, and determines the maximum voltage at which the element can be used. Currently, diodes are being made that can pass up to 2000A of current and can withstand reverse voltages of several thousand volts. …

*Some of the terminology that refers to "reverse breakdown voltage" is listed below.

Japanese:

…逆方向電圧がある値VRBを超えると接合での電子なだれ崩壊やトンネル現象によって急激に電流が増加し素子は破壊に至る。VRBは逆降伏電圧と呼ばれ,素子の使用される最大電圧を決める。現在では素子の流しうる電流は2000A,耐えられる逆電圧は数千V級のダイオードまで作られている。…
