Electrical Characteristics of Shorted Anode P-I-N Switchs

Shorted anode p-i-n 스위칭 소자의 전기적 특성

This paper describes the structure and electrical characteristics of a shorted anode p-i-n switch. The device showed a significant improvement in the threshold voltage-to-holding voltage ratio, which is due to the suppression of the hole injection from the anode and to the gold gettering at the anode side. The shorted anode devices with a $100{\mu}m$ channel length have a threshold voltage of 300 volts and a holding voltage of 5.5 volts.
