Abstract :
The design and performance of power rectifiers based on epitaxial silicon are discussed. It is shown that, by using epitaxial material, diodes can be designed showing reverse recovery times of less than 100 ns with reverse blocking to 1000 volt without increase of forward conduction losses.
