The influence of carrier generation within the space-charge regions of silicon p-n junctions upon their breakdown characteristics is analyzed. Universal plots for the calculation of the total multiplication in one-sided silicon junctions versus voltage and substrate concentration are given, which take into account both injection and generation of initiating carriers. It is shown that the multiplication factor M of practical (i.e., generation-dominated) silicon junctions differs from the pure hole-pure electron multiplication factors M p and M n and ranges between them, i.e., M_{p} . Its calculated voltage dependence is well approximated by Miller's relationship with an exponent n between 4 and 7 for impurity concentrations in the substrate between 1014and 1017cm-3.
