Abstract

A relation between minority carrier lifetime and recovery time has been obtained for p-n junction rectifiers of arbitrary base width. In the limiting cases of base width large or small compared to a diffusion length the recovery time is found to depend on the lifetime or on the transit across the base region, respectively. In intermediate cases, the recovery time is a function of both the lifetime and the transit time. Recovery time measurements on diffused junction silicon rectifiers as a junction of base width were found to be in satisfactory agreement with the theory.
