Abstract :
The transient forward voltage drop of fast diodes for medium power circuits is investigated using a computer model. Fast diodes, of both pn and PIN structures, are experimentally examined for a range of electrical and physical parameters. A multiple curvilinear statistical regression was used on the results and an empirical relationship is presented.
