High Energy Optically Controlled Kilovolt Semiconductor Switch.
Abstract
A high enegry, optically controlled kilovolt semiconductor switch is described including a bulk piece of high resistivity semiconductor for illumination by a high speed laser. Said semiconductor has a thick highly doped epitaxial layer of P+ impurity grown on one side of the semiconductor, and a thick highly doped epitaxial layer of N+ impurity grown on the opposite side of the semiconductor with metallic electrodes deposited on the respective epitaxial layers using standard ohmic contact procedures.
