Patent number: 10297706Abstract: A photoconductive switch is disclosed having a substrate, an electrode formed on the substrate, and a dielectric formed adjacent to the substrate and the electrode. The dielectric, the electrode and the substrate each have a portion cooperatively defining an interface area. The interface area of the dielectric has a doping making the interface area of the dielectric electrically conductive to suppress a charge collection at the interface area when the photoconductive switch is electrically energized through an input signal irradiating the electrode. In one embodiment the electrode may have a curvilinear or spherical shape, and the substrate may have a boundary edge surface which extends normal to the surface of the electrode, and with the dielectric having an edge surface that matches the contour of the substrate edge surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Steven A.
