Abstract

In this paper we review represent the operation of principles of silicon opening switch (SOS) process the utilizing realistic physical models provided by a commercial TCAD tool. We discuses qualitatively the difference between silicon opening process and conventional junction recovery mode. We show that p-n junction has no effect on current interruption.
