  • Abstract
    A 2 MeV electron irradiation production technique for tailoring the switching speed of high power semiconductor diodes is discussed. This technique is compared with gold doping and its inherent advantages are presented. Among the latter are precise control of fast switching characteristics, excellent reproducibility and no increases in leakage at low switching speeds.
