In which type of breakdown, an avalanche of electrons is formed?

In which type of breakdown, an avalanche of electrons is formed? Correct Answer Intrinsic Breakdown

At high Electric fields, electrons are ejected which are accelerated through the material, producing an avalanche of electron. Such a breakdown is called intrinsic breakdown.
