Annotation: The non-quasi-static computer model of a diode designed in CAD at the user level and taking into account all the main aspects of non-equilibrium charge carriers dynamics is considered. The method of extraction of all significant parameters for this model is described. It is shown that the model is useful to describe the step recovery diodes.

Keywords: semiconductor diode, non-quasi-static model, recombination current, step recovery diode
