Abstract
A fast-recovery rectifier design is described for blocking voltages in excess of 50 V. The SPIN rectifier is a parallel combination of dispersed Schottky and p-i-n rectifiers. Recovery time of 35 ns is achieved at I/sub F/=70 A for breakdown voltages in excess of 200 V. Experimental studies of reverse recovery, the effect of pattern variation, increased n-layer thickness, and reverse current are described.<>
