Which outcome results when avalanche breakdown occurs at a semiconductor junction in an RF power amplifier?

💡 Explanation

Signal distortion causes harmonic generation. Avalanche breakdown generates excessive carriers exceeding the dopant profile via Impact Ionization, therefore, signals become non-linear rather than remaining clean due to device saturation under high voltage conditions which cause distortion.
