  • Abstract
    For single-use and cost-effective pulsed power system such as exploding foil initiators, a Kapton-based closing switch is designed and fabricated based on micro fabrication. The size of the switch is about 9mm × 7mm. Device testing of the switch gives an output of peak current 2700A and rise time 370ns. System modelling based on experimental data shows that the inductance and resistor of the circuit is 120nH and 0.0167 Ω, respectively. The simulation results show a good agreement with test data.
