摘要：
In this paper we report on asymmetric SiC GTOs (Gate Turn-Off Thyristors), fabricated at Northrop Grumman with the assistance of Silicon Power Co. A module containing six 1 mm x 1 mm. GTOs connected in parallel has demonstrated 100 Amps of switching current capability. This is the highest current reported to date with GTOs designed for greater than 3 kV forward blocking voltage [1]. GTOs fabricated from the same wafer have achieved a forward blocking voltage of 3.1 kV, which was the testing limit of the instrumentation. This represents a record high breakdown voltage for GTOs with a drift layer thickness of 30 mum [1-4]. These GTOs also demonstrated record low leakage currents of < 5 muA at the forward blocking voltage of 3.1 kV.
