  • Abstract
    A new multilayer a-SiC thin film based switch was successfully fabricated and studied for the first time. The device has a forward breakover voltage VBF=140 V and exhibits a reversible decrease of VBF with increasing illumination intensity. The behaviour of this switch is analogous to that of a thyristor.
