Stacked Switchable Element and Diode Combination with a Low Breakdown Switchable Element

NREL (Inventor)

    Research output: Patent

    Abstract

    A device (10) comprises a semiconductor diode (12) and a switchable element (14) positioned in stacked adjacent relationship. The semiconductor diode (12) and the switchable element (14) are electrically connected in series with one another. The switchable element (14) is switchable from a low-conductance state to a high-conductance state in response to the application of a low-density formingcurrent and/or a low voltage.
