Print on Demand. This book comprehensively delves into the phenomenon of second breakdown in transistors, presenting a detailed analysis of its causes, characteristics, and implications. The author delves into the theoretical underpinnings of this phenomenon, exploring various mechanisms such as thermal instability, charge carrier effects, and non-thermal effects. By examining different types of transistors and diodes, the book provides a thorough understanding of the factors influencing second breakdown and its manifestation in different semiconductor devices. Additionally, practical aspects are addressed, including design considerations, precautions for safe operation, and testing techniques for assessing second breakdown susceptibility. Through a combination of theoretical analysis, experimental observations, and practical insights, this book offers valuable knowledge for researchers, engineers, and anyone interested in understanding and mitigating second breakdown in semiconductor devices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Comprehensive bibliography on second breakdown in semiconductor devices
A detailed, cataloged guide through the literature on second breakdown in transistors, diodes, and related structures. This edition collects references from 1958 through much of 1967, offering a curated view of how the topic has been studied and understood over time.
The book presents almost 200 references, with a broad mix of journal articles, conference papers, and some technical notes. It covers triggering mechanisms, thermal and non-thermal effects, and how second breakdown affects device reliability and failure modes. The material is organized to help researchers locate discussions by topic, device type, and key terms, with multiple indexes and keyword assignments to aid search and cross-reference.- What you’ll find:
- A structured bibliography spanning foundational work and later studies on second breakdown
- An index to subject matter, reference tabulation, and key word assignments
- An index to authors and a footnotes section to provide context
- References that include transistor and diode behavior, plus related structures
- How it’s useful:
- Aimed at engineers and researchers designing, testing, or analyzing high-power semiconductor devices
- Helps identify relevant papers and trends across decades of work
- Provides accessible entry points into complex topics like trigger temperature, thermal effects, and current distribution
- Additional context:
- The bibliography notes convenience groupings and the inclusion of some company notes and theses
- It uses standardized abbreviations and organization rules to aid quick reference

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
