Abstract

Voltage drop process in power Si diode switched to a conducting state by an impact-ionization wave, which is excited by overvoltage pulse with a subnanosecond rise time, has been investigated. In experiments, a reverse voltage pulse was applied to a diode with a diameter of 6 mm without preliminary reverse bias, which provided the average rate of voltage rise across the diode dU/dt in the range of 1–10 kV/ns. Numerical simulations showed that calculated and experimentally observed voltage waveforms are in good quantitative agreement in the case when an active area of the structure Sa, through which a switching current flows, increases with dU/dt value increasing. It was shown that at dU/dt < 2 kV/ns the active area tends to zero, and at dU/dt > 10 kV/ns it approaches the total area of the structure. Comparison with the results of similar studies shows that the increase in the active area of the structure with the increase in the Sa value does not depend on the material of the structure (silicon and gallium arsenide), the number of layers in the semiconductor structure (diodes and thyristors), and also on the value of the initial bias voltage.

功率硅二极管冲击电离切换过程的空间不均匀性
摘要 研究了由亚纳秒级上升时间的过压脉冲激发的冲击电离波将功率硅二极管切换到导电状态时的压降过程。在实验中,对一个直径为 6 毫米的二极管施加了一个反向电压脉冲,而没有进行初步的反向偏压,这样二极管上的平均电压上升率 dU/dt 为 1-10 kV/ns。数值模拟显示,当开关电流流经的结构有源区 Sa 随 dU/dt 值的增加而增大时,计算得出的电压波形与实验观察到的电压波形在数量上非常吻合。结果表明,在 dU/dt < 2 kV/ns 时,有功面积趋于零,而在 dU/dt > 10 kV/ns 时,有功面积接近结构的总面积。与类似研究结果的比较表明,随着 Sa 值的增加,结构有功面积的增加并不取决于结构的材料(硅和砷化镓)、半导体结构的层数(二极管和晶闸管)以及初始偏置电压的值。
