  "term": "Storage time",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The duration a semiconductor device, such as a diode or transistor, remains in a conducting state after the input signal has been removed or reversed. This delay is caused by the recombination of excess minority carriers within the device's junctions. For a bipolar junction transistor, storage time contributes to the turn-off delay.",
