摘要
MOS-controlled thyristor (MCT) devices [1] have been experimentally investigated for their current-handling and switching properties. For devices with an active area of 0.084 cm2, anode currents of up to 5 A can be turned off against maximum blocking voltages of 2000 V in less than 2-mu-s. The combination of anode current and blocking voltage values is the highest ever reported for MCT's. The results obtained are comparable to state-of-the-art GTO devices.
