...It can greatly enhance the reliability of M×N-stage MBCs. 2) The auxiliary triggering resistors R12–R1M and R21–R2M are introduced, by which the amplitude of auxiliary triggering pulse voltage and the current can be easily adjusted....

...In this paper, a novel ATT is proposed to improve the reliability of M×N-stage MBCs based on avalanche transistors....
[...]
...Such displacement current plays an important role in the switching-ON process of transistors in M×N-stage MBCs [14]....
[...]
...In fact, before adopting the ATT for M×N-stage MBCs, we used another method to reduce the failure rate of transistors....

...Our experimental and simulation results contradict the interpretation suggested in [5] and [6], which assumes a TRAPATT-like zone at the beginning of the transient similar to that reported for the SAS regime in an n0 layer (see [17]–[19] and references therein) and a diodelike breakdown with double avalanche injection at the end of the transient [with an electric field profile similar to that shown by curve 3 in Fig....
