Abstract

The inventive concept shows the embodiment of t-switch which is a MIT 3-terminal device based on a Hole-driven MIT theory and a technology for removing an ESD noise signal which is one of applications of the t-switch. The t-switch includes three terminals of Inlet, Outlet and Control, and a metal-insulator transition (MIT) occurs at an Outlet layer by a current flowing through the Control terminal. In the t-switch, a high resistor is connected to the Control terminal and thereby an ESD noise signal of high voltage flows through the Inlet-Outlet without damaging the device.
