Abstract
Taking a simple branching process as model of the carrier multiplication in reverse junctions, the turn-on probability of a microplasma is determined. Considering the variation of the voltage and current in the diode, the distribution of the off-state time interval is deduced. Finally, expressions for the amplitude distribution as well as the rate of discharges in units of time are developed in the case where the on-time is negligible.
