ELECTRO-THERMAL SIMULATION STUDIES OF SINGLE-EVENT BURNOUT IN POWER DIODES

Single-event burnout in power diodes is studied using coupled electro-thermal simulations. A two-dimensional rectangular diode structure is designed and steady-state electrical characteristics are simulated. Single-event effects are simulated using an ion-strike modeled after data reported in the li...
