LOW SWITCHING LOSS FOUR ELECTRODE GTO THYRISTOR | ||||||
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. |
