Abstract: In order to decrease the volume and manufacturing cost of exploding foil initiator system, an exploding foil initiator (EFI) with high voltage planar switch is designed. The exploding foil and high voltage planar switch are prepared on the observational side and the reverse side of ceramic substrate, respectively. That substrate and other parts are assembled into an exploding foil initiator, and the electrical explosion performance of the exploding foil initiator is studied. The results indicates that the exploding foil initiator with high voltage planar switch had similar initiating performance as the traditional exploding foil initiator which uses a spark gap switch. The high voltage planar switch could meet the initiating requirement of exploding foil initiator instead of spark gap switch.

Key words: ordnance science and technology, high voltage planar switch, miniaturization, integration, exploding foil initiator
