Abstract:
An analytical solution to the problem of a decrease in energy losses $\Omega$ in diode current interrupters is derived for the stage of recovery of the blocking ability due to optimization of the dopant distribution $N (x)$ over the structure thickness. The distribution $N(x)$ close to optimal is found; it makes it possible to decrease $\Omega$ by 30–55% compared with standard design interrupters with homogeneously doped high-resistivity layers.
