ABSTRACT:
A high speed semiconductor pinch rectifier attains low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current by utilizing depletion region pinch-off of conduction channels in a high-resistivity region. In a preferred form, the pinch rectifier additionally utilizes a Schottky barrier contact so as to facilitate device fabrication.
