Abstract: The process of non-plasma ignition of lead styphnate by a silicon-based semiconductor bridge is studied. Discharge characteristics with plasma and non-plasma ignition are analyzed. It is demonstrated that non-plasma ignition is characterized by a low energy and can be applied in cases with fine-grain energy materials.

Keywords: non-plasma ignition, plasma ignition, critical conditions, lead styphnate.
