ABSTRACT:
An avalanche semiconductor switch device utilizes trigger input. The integrated trigger input is a charge carrier injector which injects charge carriers directly into the avalanche semiconductor switch device. The avalanche semiconductor switch device includes: an active, semi-insulating layer; an anode; a cathode; and an injector disposed on the anode contact. The injector serves to switch the device into a state of very high conductance when a positive bias is applied to the injector. The integrated trigger input allows low power optical sources to be used with the avalanche semiconductor switch device further back in the trigger chain. The injector may inject holes or electrons. The injector may be integrated on one side of the substrate.
