The triggering and propagation of superfast impact ionization fronts in high-voltage silicon p +-n-n + diode structures have been numerically simulated. The results confirm the hypothesis that field-enhanced thermionic electron emission from deep centers can be a mechanism that is responsible for the generation of superfast ionization fronts.
