Original Abstract

The occurence of microplasma regions in PN junctions is attributed to crystal lattice imperfections. As a rule, these regions feature lower strong-field avalanche ionization breakdown voltages than other homogenous PN junction regions [1]. The existence of such regions may lead to local avalanche breakdowns occuring in reverse-biased PN junctions at certain voltage. These local avalanche breakdowns may exhibit as a current impulse noise. These impulses are usually represented by constant amplitude, random pulse width and pulse origin time points. The current impulse noise is dependent on voltage. When the reverse voltage on PN junction increases, frequency and width of impulses are also increasing. The microplasma bistable behaviour may be described with two-state stochastic process of generation-recombination type.
