Abstract
The inductive nature of short-base p- n junction diodes at high forward bias is explained by means of a novel equivalent circuit featuring separate paths for charging currents and convection currents. As suggested by other authors, also conductivity modulation turns out to play a role. The general conclusion is, that the a.c. diode capacitance changes sign when the (modulated) total series resistance of the diode becomes equal to its differential resistance.
