The value of reverse voltage at which this occurs is controlled by the amount ot doping of the diode. A heavily doped diode has a low Zener breakdown voltage, while a lightly doped diode has a high Zener breakdown voltage. At voltages above approximately 8V, the predominant mechanism is the avalanche breakdown.
