INVESTIGATIONS OF ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLABLE TURN-OFF CONTROLLED RECTIFIERS

Abstract

Efforts were devoted toward the realization of a high gain gate turn-off controlled rectifier. Basically, 2 types o turn-off structures evolved: (1 0 the modified PNPN and (2) the composite PNPN-NPN. A maximum turn-off gain of 75 was achieved using the modified PNPN structure whereas turn-off gains up to 500 were observed on the composite PNPN-NPN structure. Details of both structures are discussed including theory of operation, fabrication techniques, experimental data and results, measurements and test equipment. Finally, over-all conclusions and recommendations are presented.
