Three-dimensional effects and surface breakdown addressing efficiency and reliability problems in avalanche bipolar junction transistors

Abstract Although avalanche switching has been known since the 1950s, a trustworthy one-dimensional physical interpretation of the practically interesting high-current mode ("secondary breakdown") in a Si avalanche transistor has appeared only within the last decade and thanks to numerica...
