Take a PN or Schottky diode and apply a reverse bias voltage. Go beyond the absolute maximum reverse voltage (given by the datasheet) and limit the current to a low value, such that P = V*I\$P = V\cdot I\$ is low enough to not thermally destroy it. In this configuration, is reverse breakdown destructive for PN or Schottky diodes?

Is reverse breakdown destructive for diodes?

Take a PN or Schottky diode and apply a reverse bias voltage. Go beyond the absolute maximum reverse voltage (given by the datasheet) and limit the current to a low value, such that P = V*I is low enough to not thermally destroy it.
