  • Abstract
    We report on machine model (MM) failures resulting from transient reverse current. The MM waveform oscillates between positive and negative voltage, causing reverse recovery current and current crowding failure on diode fingers. The unipolar nature of TLP measurement and HBM cannot capture this failure mechanism
