A semiconductor opening switch (SOS)(also known as SOS diode) is a solid-state
nanosecond switch of gigawatt power level. Due to its high pulse repetition rate, long …

Atmospheric pulsed gas discharge requires very short duration high-voltage pulse delivered
to the electrodes. Moreover, atmospheric gas discharge of very short pulse is usually a high …

The paper describes design and technical specifications of nanosecond high-voltage pulsed
generators that have an all-solid-state switching system. As a final power amplifier the …

The operating characteristics of a semiconductor opening switch (SOS) are determined by
its pum** circuit parameters. SOS is still able to cut off the current when pum** current …

Semiconductor opening switches are based on two different modes of operation: the
junction recovery JR and the so called silicon opening switch SOS mode. 1 Junction …

In this paper, a novel repetitive frequency square-wave generator named pulse forming line-
based repetitive square-wave generator (PFLRSG)-based coaxial pulse forming lines …

In 1991 we discovered a semiconductor opening switch (SOS) effect that occurs in p+-pnn+
silicon structures at a current density of up to 60 kA/cm 2. This effect was used to develop …

Solid-state compact Marx generator using saturable pulse transformer (SPT) and fast
recovery diodes has been proposed. The primary circuit is switched by three MOSFETs …

Using a physicomathematical model, the process of current breaking in power
semiconductor opening switches was investigated in p+-pn-n+ structures with different …
