Abstract
In this work, a novel breakover diode (BOD) design has been proposed and developed allowing the generation of a range of triggering voltages (20-300 V) independent of the starting material's resistivity, through modification of a single process step. Moreover, absolute control over the triggering (forward blocking) voltage (VBF) has been improved to approximately ±1.5%. In addition, the dependence of other critical device parameters, such as the breakover voltage (VBO), breakover current (IBO) and holding current (Ih), on the forward blocking voltage has been virtually eliminated.
