摘要: A new type of full scale 4.5 kV/3 kA GTO has been developed, fabricated, and electrically characterized. The device utilizes a punchthrough concept with buffer layer. To avoid the requirement excessive gate currents for turn-on, homogeneous anode layer without shorts. very low efficiency, which allows efficient extraction charge during turn-off. With layer, significantly reduced wafer thickness as compared to conventional devices buffer. This reduces switching well on-state losses. turn-off losses best were one third those GTOs and, at same time, decreased by more than third.
