Inhalt:
The welding diode design is analyzed using device simulations as well as electrical measurements to carry out an optimal technology from the performance point of view; especially low forward voltage drop, reproducibility of processing and high yield are desired. A new diffusion process is demonstrated as an enabler of superior electrical performance without necessity of aggressive wafer thinning.
