Avalanche Breakdown in Silicon

K. G. McKay
- 15 May 1954 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an avalanche theory of breakdown at room temperature is proposed for semiconductors based on the assumption of approximately equal ionization rates for electrons and positive holes, and it is shown that this noise represents the unstable onset of breakdown and that all of the current flow in the breakdown region can be attributed to the current carried by the noise pulses.

Small-signal impedance of avalanching junctions with unequal electron and hole ionization rates and drift velocities

S.T. Fisher
- 01 Aug 1966 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a small-signal analysis of an avalanching semiconductor junction is presented for unequal electron and hole ionization rates and saturated drift velocities, and the model consists of a thin ionization layer in a thicker depletion layer.

An improved dispersion relationship for the p-n junction avalanche diode

F.K. Manasse, +1 more
- 01 May 1968 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a tractable and more physically realistic dispersion relationship for the avalanche diode than previously available has been developed, including terms relating to the differences in hole and electron velocities and ionization coefficients.
