  • Abstract
    This letter reports the development of the TIL GTO thyristor--a novel power switch possessing the following unique turnoff features: a built-in ability to increase IATOand the gain Koff; reduced turn-off times even for gains Koffhigher than 8; an enhanced electrothermal reliability during commutation, confirmed by the high operating frequencies (hundreds of kilohertz). The novel device exhibits low on-state losses and retains its reverse-blocking capability.
