  • Abstract
    A new method is used to design a power semiconductor device which combines IGBT switching and thyristor on-state characteristics. A single gate signal controls the switching and triggers the transitions between the IGBT and thyristor modes of operation. The design of single-gated devices with multiple modes and aspects of their switching behaviour are discussed
