Opportunity:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its Tunnel Drift Step Recovery Diode technology.
Background:
A Drift Step Recovery Diode (DSRD) is a fast opening, high-voltage pin diode that is stacked in series and used in pulsed power systems to deliver nanosecond-scale high-voltage pulses into a load. These are typically produced by an expensive method that involves deep diffusion of n- and p-type dopants into a low to moderately doped wafer or by the more expensive epitaxial growth of the desired structure. What is needed is a less expensive method of fabricating DRSDs.
Description:
Instead of producing individual DSRDs and bonding them, Tunnel DSRD's entire stack structure is grown epitaxially on a n- or p-type silicon wafer, resulting in a novel, “monolithic” stacked DSRD. A tunnel diode is essentially a diode with very highly doped p and n regions such that the reverse breakdown voltage is 200 meV or lower.
Advantages/Benefits:
Epitaxially grown repeating layers - less manufacturing costs High voltage switches Used for high power microwave sources
Potential Applications:
High Power Switch Pulsed Power Drift Step Recovery Diode
Development Status:
Current stage of technology development: TRL 2
