The present invention is a method by which diodes are connecting in a circuit such that they are more robust. The method involves placing two diodes of opposite directions in parallel and applying a DC bias such that a forward diode may then handle higher than normal voltages and a reverse diode provides a failsafe in the event of a reverse bias.
