Silicon Carbide Gto Thyristor Loss Model for Hvdc Application
With the increase in use of power electronics in transmission and distribution applications there is a growing demand for cost effective and highly efficient converters. Most of the utility applications have power electronics integrated in the system to improve the efficiency and functionality of the existing system. The development of semiconductor devices is vital for the growth of power elec...
متن کاملSwitching Characteristics of an Asymmetrical Complementary 4H-SiC Gate Turn- Off (GTO) Thyristor
This work is partially supported by US Office of Naval Research grant N00014-96-1-0926 Abstract The switching characteristics of 4H-SiC asymmetric GTO thyristors are studied and compared to Si based IGBTs, MCTs, and MOSFETs. Forward current density, turn-off time and forward blocking voltage parameters are matched for the various switching devices. From the measurements, the necessary parameter...
متن کاملGaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Emitter Design
We demonstrate that GaAs-based HBTs with very low base currents at both low and high injection levels can be achieved using either Al0.35Ga0.65As or InGaP in the emitter with the proper optimization of structure and growth. We observe an order of magnitude reduction in space charge recombination current as the Al composition, and hence the energy-gap, of the emitter increases from 25% (1.77 eV)...
متن کاملInsulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Basics
IGBT Fundamentals The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a minority-carrier device with high input impedance and large bipolar current-carrying capability. Many designers view IGBT as a device with MOS input characteristics and bipolar output characteristic that is a voltage-controlled bipolar device. To make use of the advantages of both Power MOSFET and BJT, the IGBT has been introdu...
