...Furthermore, scaling of VBD with LGD is also observed, as Si-doping concentration is increased, which signifies electric field redistribution in the vertical direction, as discussed in part I of this paper [8]....

...paper, revealed self-compensating nature of traps induced by C-doping to be the key parameter controlling the VBD [8]....
[...]
...It was thus concluded that the required improvement in VBD can be achieved along with optimized dc performance of the device by reducing the acceptor trap concentration and maximizing the donor trap concentration [8]....
[...]
...Clearly, as also seen in part I of this paper [8], the doping requirement for VBD improvement is higher compared to what is required to merely increase buffer resistivity....
