Gate turn-off in p-n-p-n devices

A simple two-dimensional model for gated turn-off of a p-n-p-n device is used to derive an expression relating the storage time and the turn-off gain. The observed dependence of storage time on turn-off gain fits the derived expression well for devices specially fabricated consistant with the assump...

Description
Summary:A simple two-dimensional model for gated turn-off of a p-n-p-n device is used to derive an expression relating the storage time and the turn-off gain. The observed dependence of storage time on turn-off gain fits the derived expression well for devices specially fabricated consistant with the assumptions of the model. The fall time is discussed qualitatively.
