ABSTRACT:
A monolithic semiconductor igniter for igniting a charge of explosive material. The igniter includes a semiconductor substrate, and one or more fuse which is diffused in the semiconductor substrate such that the fuse ignites the charge when an electrical current is passed through it. Also provided is a process for manufacturing a monolithic semiconductor igniter. The process includes providing a semiconductor substrate, and diffusing one or more fuses in the semiconductor substrate. An additional embodiment provides an igniter with multiple sawtooth bridge elements. The resistance of this igniter may be adjusted by cutting individual bridge elements.
