Abstract

The low frequency noise in rectifier diodes in the breakdown regime is investigated as a function of the reverse current. A dynamic "competition" between impact ionization and microplasma switching explains the nonmonotonic, repetitive and correlated variations in the breakdown dynamic resistance (dV/dI) slope, the noise level, and the noise waveform.
