Abstract:
A high-power semiconductor device assembly wherein a plurality of semiconductor diodes are mounted between opposed, spaced, parallel surfaces of two flat bodies of electrical insulating and good heat conducting material. The opposed surfaces of the bodies have metal films thereon to which the diodes are electrically and mechanically secured. The metal films are arranged to electrically connect the diodes in series. Heat generated in the diodes is conducted through the metal films to the bodies which dissipate the heat to the surrounding ambient.
Abstract:
A Trappatt diode having four conducting regions. The diode includes an n-type region contiguous to a p-type region, forming a P-N junction therebetween. Contiguous to the n-type region is a first outer conductivity region. The first outer conductivity region is of the same conductivity type as the n-type region but of a higher doping concentration. Contiguous to the p-type region is a second outer conductivity region. The second outer conductivity region is of the same conductivity type as the ptype region but of higher doping concentration. The p-type region and the n-type region are the active regions of the Trapatt diode and have a graded doping concentration. In addition, the active regions are in close proximity to a surface of the diode which is generally mounted in contact with a heat sink. The graded doping concentration and close proximity of the active regions to a heat sink results in a Trapatt diode with good thermal dissipation characteristics, increased power output, and a broader bandwidth.
Abstract:
AN AVALANCHE DIODE IN COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH A UHF OR L BAND WAVE TUNING STRUCTURE AMPLIFIERS LOW POWER OSCILLATIONS AT A FREQUENCY IN THE UHF OR L BAND APPLIED TO THE WAVE TUNING STRUCTURE, IF THE AVALANCHE DIODE IS BIASED WITH A BIAS LEVEL SLIGHTLY BELOW THE THRESHOLD VALUE AT WHICH FREE RUNNING OSCILLATIONS TAKE PLACE.
