Abstract

Examines the switching characteristics of silicon and GaAs-based devices operating in the low- and high-field regimes. Characteristics of an ideal power switch; Applications of high-power switches; Steady-state analysis of silicon- and GaAs-based majority carrier devices; Advantage of photoconductive switches over optothyristors.
