SIMPLIFIED ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES FOR PREDICTING DIODE TREE RESPONSES.
Abstract
The purpose of the project is to determine the feasibility of correlating radiation-induced equilibrium photocurrent, in typical silicon switching diodes, to non-destructively measurable diode parameters. Theoretical relations are developed which relate the diode depletion and diffusion components of photocurrent to known physical constants and nondestructively measurable diode electrical parameters. Test circuits and methods are developed for properly measuring the required electrical diode parameters. The agreement between calculated and measured photocurrents for the group of 46 diodes tested established the feasibility of the developed prediction method. (Author)
