Abstract

The electrical characteristics of an N(LT)N structure are studied through implementation of numerical simulation techniques for the case of donor traps 0.83 ev below the conduction band and acceptor traps 0.3 ev above the valence band. The results show characteristics sensitive to the relative densities of the traps. In particular, high acceptor trap / low donor trap concentrations generally result in low breakdown voltages, whereas high acceptor / high donor concentrations result in higher breakdown voltages.
