The invention relates to a fast-recovery commutation diode used for high frequency electroplating and a production method thereof, wherein the fast-recovery commutation diode has the high frequency property and is suitable for 30KHz/2-5KA/(200-400)V high frequency electroplating with both high voltage and high current density. An N-type (100) radial single crystal silicon piece, which has specific resistance Rho n of 5-9 Ohm-cm, diameter of 48-70 mm and thickness of 175-185 microns, is adopted; silicon piece diffusion is conducted, and double-surface once diffusion is carried out at temperature of 1250 DEG C; the diffusion piece detection is carried out; phosphorosilicate glass and borosilicate glass are used for absorption, the temperature is slowly lowered from 1250 DEG C to 1050 DEG C, the speed rate is 1 DEG C per minute, and isothermal absorption is carried out for 2-3 h; slow temperature reduction is continued till furnace temperature is reduced to 600 DEG C, then furnace delivery is carried out, and minority carrier lifetime Tao p is caused to reach 12-16 Mu S; platinum diffusion is carried out at low temperature so that the minority carrier lifetime Tao p is controlled to be 4-6 Mu S; 12 Mev electron irradiation is carried out so that the minority carrier lifetime Tao p of a base region is 0.9-1.1 Mu S; the two surfaces of the silicon piece are plated with titanium-nickel-gold by means of vapor deposition and then undergo table-board spray sand molding, desanding, cleaning, corrosion, passivation protection, intermediate test, shell arrangement and packaging, and after tests testify qualification, the finished product is produced.
