  • Abstract
    The results obtained from the numerical simulation of P+NN+ and N+PP+ trapatt diodes show a considerable difference between processes of dynamic minority-carrier storage in these structures. The reasons for this difference are discussed. It is shown that the given analysis will be useful in the explanation of the experimentally observed superiority of N+PP+-type diodes.
