Abstract | Tunneling-assisted impact ionization fronts in semiconductors recently investigated theoretically by Rodin et al are expected to be much faster and generate higher plasma concentrations in comparison with the traditional impact ionization. We have conducted experiments and numerical simulations of this new switching process. In experiments with double-stage sharpening scheme overvoltage across tested tunneling-assisted delayed breakdown device (TADBD) was equal to about 10 kV/ns per one structure. TADBD included 20 series connected semiconductor structures with 0.25-cm/sup 2/ surface area. The length of the stack was 9 mm. The triggering occurred after a delay of about 1 ns, when the reverse electric field of /spl sim/1 MV/cm was reached across the structures. We have obtained output pulses having 150-kV amplitude across a 50-/spl Omega/ external load with about 200-ps rise time. Maximum current density in the TADBD was /spl sim/13 kA/cm/sup 2/. The maximum rise rates of the current and the voltage were 10 kA/ns and 500 kV/ns respectively. In numerical simulations real dopant distribution profile of the semiconductor structure was taken into account. Numerical simulations showed that the triggering occurred after a delay of 1 ns, when the threshold of tunneling ionization of 1 MV/cm was reached in vicinity of p-n junction. Tunneling-assisted impact ionization fronts pass through the structure in both directions from p-n junction within approximately 60 ps, filling it with electron-hole plasma having a concentration of about 10/sup 17/ cm/sup -3/. The total velocity of the front's propagation is about 20 times higher than the saturated velocity of the carriers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
