Novel Cathode Design to Improve the ESD Capability of 600 V Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diodes

Silicon power diodes are used to design different types of electrical energy systems. Their performance has been improved substantially, as a result of a concentrated research efforts that have taken place in the last two decades. They are considered immune to electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures,...
