| Abstract |
Numerical analysis of performance improvement
available using lifetime control techniques able
to control device carrier lifetime not only in the
axial direction, but also in the longitudinal
direction (2D lifetime control) is presented.
Mixed mode numerical simulations are used to
evaluate static and dynamic behavior of power
PiN diodes using 2D lifetime control.
The analysis shows that 2D lifetime control gives
a better trade-off between static and dynamic
behavior with respect to electron irradiation
technique.
Guidelines for optimal design are given. In the
paper it is shown that 2D lifetime control is a
very flexible design technique, since there are
many lifetime profiles with similar effects on
diode performance. |
