  • Abstract
    To gain better understanding of semiconductor bridge (SCB) discharge behaviour, we have measured the plasma electron density generated by SCBs using a microwave resonator probe technique in a vacuum (⩽10-5 torr). This method is superior to Langmuir probes in this application because of sheath effects, small bridge areas, and unknown fraction of multiple ions
