High-power, TIL-type gate-assisted turn-off thyristors

Abstract

The work reports the development of trial high-voltage (2000–2500 V), highcurrent (up to 500 A) gate-assisted turn-off (GAT) thyristors based on the novel, double-interdigitated or two interdigitation levels (TIL) gate-cathode configuration. The active cathode area of devices is only 1.7 cm2. The test TIL GATTs were both normal, i.e. using no lifetime killers and gold-diffused at several temperatures. The investigations revealed the high …
