RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF LOCALIZED DEFECTS AND HOT SPOTS IN HIGH VOLTAGE PNPN INVERTER SWITCHES.

Abstract

This Second Quarterly Report deals with the research and development conducted during the investigation of localized defects and hot spots in high voltage p-n-p-n inverter switches. A possible failure mode due to a p-n-p switching action is discussed together with causes of localized current distributions. Progress in measuring techniques is also reported. (Author)
