  • Abstract
    A new compact model description of reverse-biased diode characteristics is presented. This model includes tunnelling effects and avalanche breakdown. From comparison with both numerical simulations and measurements it is found that the model gives a good description of the I-V characteristics of reverse-biased diodes.
