Temperature rise of pin diodes from X band pulses

Abstract
When pin microwave silicon switching diodes are subjected to high-power Xband pulses, the absorbed energy is not distributed uniformly. An apparent peak temperature delay is evidenced when using the junction forward-voltage characteristics as an indicator, and is explained by assuming a model with heat generation in the centre of the i region and the n–i and p–i junctions as sensors.
