Abstract
A novel rectifier concept based on bipolar-mode static induction transistor (BSIT) operation is proposed. A numerical simulation has revealed that the turn-on mechanism of this rectifier, owing to a combination of static induction effects and minority carrier injection, can make its forward-voltage drop and reverse recovery time smaller than those of the conventional p-i-n rectifier. As an example of the design methods, the simulation has clarified the effects of decreasing the doping concentration in the channel between p/sup +/ regions on improvement in the tradeoff between a forward voltage drop and leakage current.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
