The Role of the Photo-Generated Carrier in Surface Flashover of the GaAs Photoconductive Semiconductor Switch

The development of Gallium arsenide photoconductive semiconductor switch has been hampered by the surface flashover. The surface flashover threshold with the laser excitation is far lower than the one without the laser excitation. In this paper, the phenomena of surface flashover, including the infr...
