  • Abstract
    The symmetrical p-n-p structure may, under certain conditions, exhibit an effective nonlinear capacitance. These conditions are derived making use of Baker´s method of charge analysis. The nonlinearity is essentially due to the nonconstancy of the reverse current of each junction, brought about by properly doping the depletion layer space charge regions.
