The specific, local modification of the electronic structure of carbon nanomaterials is as
important for novel electronic device fabrication as the doping in the case of silicon-based …

The existence of a multiplicity of carrier lifetimes and their inextricable linkage to the
measurement technique, injection level and position of the recombination centre in the …

The irradiation with high-energy (7.35 MeV) protons through a set of energy degraders was
used to suppress leakage of the silicon power diodes subjected to local lifetime control. The …

In this paper, we present a quantitative study of the effects of lifetime engineering treatments
on the switching operation of power diodes, with special regards to the whole energy …

Palladium (Pd) diffusion from a surface layer enhanced by defects from a helium (He)
irradiation is shown to provide a local lifetime control in a power pin diode annealed …

We demonstrate for the first time a high-power PiN diode with local lifetime control using
palladium (Pd) diffusion. Low-temperature (600/spl deg/C-700/spl deg/C) diffusion of Pd is …

Fast recovery diodes (FRD) are widely used in transformer circuits for fast switching.
Generally, in order to reduce forward voltage to achieve fast switching, the doping …

The increased demand of offshore power conversion systems is driven by newly initiated
offshore projects for wind farms and oil production. Because of long distances to shore and …

The application of a 300 nm thick platinum silicide (PtSi) layer at the place of the anode
contact layer of a soft recovery 2.5 kV/100 A high-power P–i–N diode brought a reduction of …

Fast recovery pin diode with anode pn junction modified by the radiation-enhanced diffusion
(RED) of gold is presented. The RED of gold is shown to provide the local lifetime control of …
