Abstract
This paper considers the gate-controlled diode as a device performing both analog and digital functions. This behavior is encountered in the breakdown regime of the device, where the transfer characteristic has slopes in a wide range, from a cvasilinear to a collapse region. The form of this characteristic depends on the electrode that is considered as reference. Theoretical models and experimental measurements demonstrate these assumptions.
