Abstract
We propose use of heterostructures in PIN rectifiler diodes for obtaining faster switching speed. It is shown that by employing a small bandgap material in the heavily doped P layer and a wide bandgap material in the intrinsic region, reverse recovery time can be significantly lowered without compromising either the breakdown or the forward ON voltage.
