ABSTRACT:
A drift field switch incorporating a layer of semiconductor material having a first conductivity type, two spaced apart regions having the same conductivity type or a second conductivity type which function as summing buses, a layer of resistive material positioned over and insulated from the material extending between the two regions to generate a lateral electric field in the material at times a voltage is placed across the resistive material. The drift field switch overcomes the problem of providing on and off switches to steer charge to one of a plurality of summing buses.
