Abstract :
A monolithic solid-state electro-explosive initiator which consists of Schottky barriers or p-n junctions fabricated on opposite sides of a silicon wafer is discussed. Thermal characterization of the structure was performed during radio frequency excitation to demonstrate RF insensitivity
