  • Abstract
    This paper deals with reverse recovery and snappiness in high voltage PiN diodes as the ones currently used in high power electronics applications. It suggests a practical quantitative definition for the occurrence of snappiness and investigates unusual phenomena that might occur during reverse recovery.
