The impedance of GaAs p-i-n diodes under forward bias is modeled using the two-dimensional simulation program PISCES. A parallel equivalent circuit gives almost constant resistance and capacitance over a wide range of frequencies. The intrinsic turn-off switching time of the diode, neglecting contact resistance, is determined by the sweep out time of the carriers, not by the carrier lifetime, unless this is very short. The diode current is recombination dominated at low forward bias. At higher applied voltages, this current becomes diffusion dominated if not masked by high injection conditions 相似文献

The effect of the sheet resistance of the diffused region of a p-n junction photodiode on the diode response is discussed. A differential equation is obtained for diffused region potential in terms of its sheet resistance and the manner in which the diode is illuminated. For zero external bias and low light levels or for large back-bias, the differential equation is linear. The linear equation has been solved for steady illumination and for sinusoidally varying illumination, both falling uniformly on the diode. Current voltage equations and equivalent circuits are obtained for these cases. In the ac case, the equivalent series resistance due to the diffused region sheet resistance and equivalent junction capacitance are found to be frequency dependent. The frequency dependence is interpreted as a decrease in effective diode area at high frequencies. The frequency at which this effect begins to be important is the reciprocal of the product of the diffused region sheet resistance, the junction capacitance per unit area, and the square of the diode width. The effect is slightly dependent on diode and contact geometry; both linear and circular geometries are discussed. 相似文献

A silicon PIN diode developed for use as a microwave protector promises to have considerably greater reliability than gas T-R tubes. The switching action of the device results from the lowering of I layer resistance by conductivity modulation, caused either by sufficiently high microwave power levels or by applied dc bias. A theoretical analysis is presented here which yields equations for I layer resistance as a function of excitation (dc bias or microwave power). Predictions are made about the relative effectiveness of direct current or microwave power in modulating the I layer; for example, 100 ma dc bias should produce about the same injected carrier concentration as 100 kw of microwave power at 1 Gc. An experimental X-band protector consisting of an appropriately tuned PIN diode connected across a waveguide presented to low level signals an insertion loss 1 db or less when zero biased, and an insertion loss of up to 34 db at 100 ma forward bias. Measurements of temperature rise in the wafer as a function of applied X-band power indicated that the diode could protect against microwave pulses with energies of up to 38 Mw-µsec before burnout, in good agreement with theoretical predictions. 相似文献

The development of high-power low-frequency diodes, conditions for their operation, and results measured in actual circuits are described. Harmonic distortion at 500 kHz and 2 MHz has been found to decrease with increasing diode lifetime and forward-bias current. Large reverse bias voltages are necessary at low frequencies to keep the RF voltage swing from penetrating the forward conduction region. The improvement of p-i-n diode lifetimes with thicker I-layers or with planar construction has been studied and the performance of these diodes in a routing switch is reported. 相似文献

Full modelling is reported of the capacitance of a long PIN semiconductor diode with a high concentration of generation–recombination (g–r) centres and different concentrations of deep traps. There are considerable differences from the textbook results given for normal lifetime diodes which have low concentrations of g–r centres. For a low density of g–r centres, the capacitance is the usual value. That is it decreases as V−1/2 with increasing reverse bias while it increases rapidly with increasing forward bias. For high density of g–r centres and in reverse bias a departure from this voltage dependence is observed, while in forward bias a negative capacitance appears. This agrees with experiment. From these results we present a physical understanding of the processes involved. There are specific applications of these results to radiation damaged devices, lifetime killed diodes and devices made from high resistance and semi-insulating materials, especially in the interpretation of the C–V curves to evaluate the fixed space charge density. 相似文献

The reactive component of a PIN diode is known to be a function of current due to conductivity modulation in the I-region. This reactive component can negatively influence predicted attenuation levels in PIN diode attenuators if not properly accounted for. A figure of merit based on the PIN diode parameters, DC forward current, and operation frequency, is proposed that determines the operating conditions where this reactive component can be safely ignored. Simulations and measurement data on PIN diodes of various I-region widths verify the proposed figure of merit. 相似文献

This paper reports the realization and RF modeling of flexible microwave P-type-Intrinsic-N-type (PIN) diodes using transferrable single-crystalline Si nanomembranes (SiNMs) that are monolithically integrated on low-cost, flexible plastic substrates. With high-energy, high-dose ion implantation and high-temperature annealing before nanomembrane release and transfer process, the parasitic parameters (i.e. resistance, inductance, etc.) are effectively reduced, and the flexible PIN diodes achieve good high-frequency response. With consideration of the flexible device fabrication, structure and layout configuration, a RF model of the microwave single-crystalline Si nanomembrane PIN diodes on plastic substrate is presented. The RF/microwave equivalent circuit model achieves good agreement with the experimental results of the single-crystalline SiNM PIN diodes with different diode areas, and reveals the most influential factors to flexible diode characteristics. The study provides guidelines for properly designing and using single-crystalline SiNMs for flexible RF/microwave diodes and demonstrates the great possibility of flexible monolithic microwave integrated systems. 相似文献

A large-signal analysis for IMPATT diodes is derived, which allows carrier multiplication by impact ionization to occur at every point in the diode. Therefore, the operating characteristics of IMPATT diodes with a wide range of realistic doping profiles can be investigated. For a given operating frequency, RF voltage, dc bias current, and doping profile, the admittance, power output, efficiency, bias voltage of a diode can be obtained. An equivalent circuit the diode package, microwave circuit mount and diode, is obtained experimentally. Using this circuit, the admittance of the diode is measured by a reflection-type circuit and an oscillator circuit as a function of the RF voltage, dc bias current, and frequency. 相似文献

A large-signal computer simulation of an IMPATT diode has been used to investigate the differences between gallium arsenide and silicon IMPATT diodes. The variations of efficiency with frequency, current density, series resistance, amount of punch-through and reverse saturation currents are all investigated.With no ‘parasitic’ effects the silicon diode efficiency remains almost constant between 10 and 100 GHz, whereas the efficiency of gallium arsenide diodes is higher than that of silicon diodes at 10 GHz but decreases to the silicon diode efficiency at 100 GHz. A lower residual avalanche particle current in gallium arsenide diodes results in a higher susceptibility to reverse saturation currents. In silicon diodes the higher material resistivity affects the efficiency more than in gallium arsenide diodes, the removal of series resistance by having a punched-through diode does not necessarily increase the efficiency. The difference between experimental results quoted in the literature and the theoretical calculations are considered in terms of these effects. By considering the differences in ionization coefficients and velocities between the materials the lower efficiency of silicon diodes compared to gallium arsenide diodes is explained, also the lower breakdown voltage of gallium arsenide diodes compared to silicon diodes of the same frequency, and the ‘forward-bias’ effect found at high frequencies in gallium arsenide diodes. 相似文献

A phase-sensitive detection scheme is described that allows the equivalent circuit of semiconductor diodes to be determined over a wide range of operating conditions. Under reverse bias, a direct plot may be obtained of the bias dependence of the exhaustion region width through impedance measurements. In the forward sense, the diode admittance may be measured even when large currents are flowing through the diode. The capability of the method, both to yield valuable information regarding physical conditions at the junction of the device and to give insight into the charge-transport mechanisms at the interface, is illustrated through a series of measurements on selenium rectifiers. 相似文献

This paper attempts to fulfill the need for a quantitative analysis of the microwave equivalent steady state circuit parameters of the reverse biased PIN diode as a function of the process variables of the unit. The process variables considered include the effects of small impurity concentrations in the I region and variations in diffusion depth, surface dopant concentration, and I region width at the microwave frequency of 1 Gc/s. Using the Q of the diode as a result of a given design, it is shown that a high Q depends on having a small width, high resistivity I region, along with a shallow diffusion depth. The equivalent circuit parameters are independent of surface dopant concentration to a first approximation. 相似文献

Backward diodes (low peak current tunnel diodes) suitable for small-signal detection applications in the millimeter-wave region have been fabricated from n-type germanium. The diodes have the dimensions and geometry of point-contact diodes. For millimeter-wave signal levels below about - 20 dbm, the current sensitivity of these units is an order of magnitude greater than that of selected existing diodes for this frequency range. When employed as millimeter-wave frequency converters, the minimum conversion loss is comparable to that of conventional diodes, but the beating oscillator power requirements may be somewhat reduced. The diode noise factor at megacycle IF frequencies is comparable to that of conventional units, and in the low audio IF range it is expected to be markedly decreased. The fabrication of these diodes is described and their initial performance at selected frequencies from 11 Gc to 300 Gc is discussed. 相似文献

A novel highly sensitive Si magnetic sensor composed of two PIN diodes with a common n+-region is proposed, and the fundamental characteristics are shown. This magnetic sensor is operated in the double-injection states of both two PIN diodes, and may be regarded as an active magnetoresistance device which detects the resistance change of the main PIN diode due to application of the magnetic field. 相似文献
