Anything related to Zener diodes.

A Zener diode (or simply "a Zener", in common EE parlance) is a particular type of semiconductor diode used most commonly for voltage regulation, as a voltage reference or as an overvoltage protection device.

Zener diodes are the only semiconductor diodes explicitly designed to work safely in the breakdown region of their characteristic curve.
