Analysis of the on-state resistance influenced by the on-state current

Abstract

The performance of photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs) has superiority, since it has ultrafast rise-time, low jitter, good synchronization and high electric-field strength. The on-state resistance is an important parameter of the PCSS performance. In this paper, a research about the influence of bias voltage and on-state current to the on-state resistance is described. From the results we got the relationship among the elements and the on-state resistance. The on-state resistance falls with the increase of the bias voltage and the on-state current. The results were discussed and explanations were given at last.
