   LOW SWITCHING LOSS FOUR ELECTRODE GTO THYRISTOR   [View] 
 [Download] 
 Author(s)   J. Arnould; D. Lafore 
 Abstract   In view of improving switching performance of GTO Thyristor a four electrode device - cathode, anode, two gates - is developed and investigated. Structure specific features:
- all planar technology
- finely interdigited cathode (40 or 100 "microns" finger widths)
- anode gate available on anode side (same pattem as gate cathode side one)
- vertical profil: assymetric or not
- switching capability 80 A 1000 V
It is shown an improvement of at least a factor 2 in terms of switch off loss. A brief process description is given and a complete circuit equipment described. Experimental results are presented and discussed.
