RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO OBTAIN SEMICONDUCTOR DIODES FOR ELECTRONIC TUNING.

Abstract

The guard-ring structure offers significant advantages over the double-epitaxial-layer structure. Using the guard-ring structure, plus processing changes to lower the electrical field at the periphery of the junction, has resulted in a significant increase in the level of breakdown voltage attained in diodes. The feasibility of fabricating large-area planar sili con diodes which meet all of the objective electrical specifications for Devices A and B has been conclusively established. Because of the inherent advantages of the planar process, diodes made by this refined planar process are superior to devices made by other technologies. (Author)
