  • Abstract
    The results of simulation of localized charge carrier lifetime reductions in 10-kV power diodes are presented. These results are compared to experiments with proton irradiation as a means for local lifetime reduction. It is shown that the range straggling inherent in the irradiation process must be taken into account in the simulations
