Theory and breakdown voltage for planar devices with a single field limiting ring
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer algorithm is presented which makes it possible to perform field calculations on devices with floating field rings and a normalized curve is presented to show the relative improvement that a single optimally placed field ring has on the breakdown voltage for any planar device.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bilateral silicon switch
H.F. Storm,A.P. Ferro +1 more
TL;DR: The bilateral switch as discussed by the authors is a new semiconductor device which abruptly lowers its impedance as a result of the application of a voltage of sufficient amplitude, and is used for pulse generation, and more specifically for the precise firing of Triacs and silicon controlled rectifiers.
