The influence of the semiconductor and dielectric properties onsurface flashover in silicon-dielectric systems

New experimental results on surface flashover are reported for high field silicon-dielectric systems. Different conditions of the lateral surface, contacts and ambient dielectrics have been studied. The strong influence of the semiconductor quality, and that of the dielectric properties, on the prebreakdown and breakdown response of the system, is demonstrated. All experimental results strongly support the conclusion that surface flashover in silicon systems is a physical process totally different from semiconductor surface breakdown. This conclusion has important practical application in the improvement of the performance of photoconductive power switches, severely limited by premature breakdown effects

Characteristics of a photoconductive detector as an optoelectronic switch

Measurements of the wavelength, signal frequency, and position sensitivities of GaAs field effect transistors used as photoconductive detectors are presented.

The observed properties of the field effect transistor (FET) devices studied shows that the design of photoconductive optoelectronic switches will involve compromises between sensitivity and isolation in choosing the operating wavelength, and among frequency response, power consumption, and physical size in choosing the physical layout of the device.
