| Abstract |
This work studies the anomalous oscillations (snap-off) sometimes observed during p-i-n diode
switch-off, a serious reliability issue for snubberless operation. The turn-off behavior has been
measured and simulated for different diode structures. A correlation is sought among the snap-off
threshold, the recovery softness, and the diode technological-geometrical features. |
