摘要: Using a novel concept for the anode of GTO devices, authors have developed, manufactured, and characterized full scale 4.5 kV/3 kA thyristors. Utilizing buffer layer transparent anode, these devices extremely low conduction switching losses. In this work, simulation results 7 structures with homogeneous are presented. By applying design criteria given in paper, can be proposed, which on-state losses comparable to those state-of-the-art
