Abstract
Test structures intended for performance verification of transmission line pulse (TLP) systems have been designed and tested. They consist of simple resistors in either copper or silicide clad polysilicon. The copper structures proved unsuitable due to excess heating and melting of any reasonable geometry. The silicide clad polysilicon proved more successful. A simple model of resistive heating accounts for observed non-linearity in the structures under high current stress.
