-20- 47,701 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A light activated silicon switch (LASS) is disclosed in which light is transmitted from a light trigger source to appropriate target areas on the body of the silicon to appropriate target areas on the body of the silicon wafer. The optical conduits for trans- mitting the light, such as optical fibers, are under- laid with a metallic coating for establishing electrical contact to the silicon wafer, and are arranged on the surface of the silicon wafer, in a pattern so as to afford the least impediment to thermal conduction. The target areas are spread over the active areas of the silicon wafer so as to approximate uniform turn-off. In the pre- ferred arrangement, the optical channels are arranged radially on the substantially circular silicon wafer in cooperation with symmetrically placed target spots.
