An experimental and theoretical investigation of the statistics of avalanche breakdown in silicon
Measurements are made on Si p - n junctions under reverse bias in the unstable avalanche breakdown region to determine the statistics of the current pulses, and their effect on the measured mean current - mean voltage characteristics. It is found that the slope and shape of the measured mean curren...
