Abstract

A fast power diode with a soft switching-time response for use in a commutating branch containing a switchable semiconductor component is formed by at least three successive diffusions with p and n dopants and the heavy metal platinum, and for final incorporation of the parameters necessary for operation, the diode is irradiated with electrons.
