Electron Bombarded Semiconductor Short Pulse Generator

Abstract

Improved fabrication processes for large area semiconductor targets and complete high current amplifiers were developed. Large area (1.40 sq. cm. active area) semiconductor diodes, with leakage current of less than 10 mA at reverse bias voltages of 250 volts were fabricated. Initial tests were made on a completely processed tube with an internal getter instead of a two liter appendage pump. Three complete high current pulse amplifiers were fabricated and tested for diode saturation characteristics and pulse performance. The performance was determined for both grid-driven and cathode-driven operation.
